Dr. Al-Kofahi brings 15 years of experience in developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and computer vision solutions for a variety of healthcare and industrial applications. He received his Ph.D in Computer Systems Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2009. During his PhD and industrial work prior to GE, he developed algorithms to analyze 2-D and 3-D biomedical images and integrated them into products used by clinical laboratory professionals and life scientists.
Aeroderivative gas turbines are a great option for power generation as they are reliable, fuel flexible and cost effective. Given its central role in the fuel to energy conversion process, the combustor is the crucial component in achieving performance goals of excellent operability over a large load range and with low pollutant emissions such as NOx and CO. The Dry Low Emissions (DLE) combustion system is a key differentiating technology in GE’s aeroderivative engines that deliver industry leading emissions performance with excellent fuel flexibility.
