Facilities

Our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped to handle a wide range of fire science investigations:

• Burn Labs: Controlled environments where we conduct small to large scale burn experiments.
• Material Analysis Lab: Equipped with advanced technology for analyzing the flammability and heat resistance of various materials.
• Simulation Suite: Features cutting-edge software tools for modeling fire and predicting its behavior under diverse conditions.

These facilities support our mission to provide comprehensive data and insights into fire dynamics.

Data

Access to accurate and comprehensive data is crucial in the field of fire science. Our group maintains an extensive database that includes experimental data, simulation results, and case studies:

• Experimental Data: Includes detailed measurements from controlled burns and material testing.
• Model Outputs: Advanced simulations provide insights into fire spread, smoke production, and heat transfer.
• Publications and Case Studies: Access our published research papers and detailed analyses of significant fire events.

Data access is available to all research members and external collaborators under certain conditions, ensuring that our findings foster further scientific inquiry and practical application in fire safety.
