Research Areas

My research explores how fire initiates, grows, and interacts with complex fuels and infrastructure. By combining multi-scale fire experimentation with advanced probe and optical diagnostic approaches, my group investigates the fire behaviour of various hazards in the built and wildland environments. Our work spans lithium-ion battery fires, wildland-urban interface (WUI), fire emissions, and engineered timber construction, with a focus on developing predictive models and experimental frameworks that enable fire safety to be optimized in emerging energy and construction technologies.
