Working across universities, government, industry, and communities to advance fire safety science.
Complex fire problems benefit from different kinds of expertise.
Our collaborations connect fundamental experiments and modelling with questions in construction, heritage, wildfire risk, and inclusive evacuation.
Institution and office locations at city level. Base geography: Natural Earth, public domain.
Collaborative work on a database of numerical models for fire dynamics and hazard assessment, alongside studies of fire safety in multi-storey residential buildings with a single means of egress.
