Happy to share our latest work on AI-Powered Fire Engineering Design and Smoke Flow Analysis for Complex-shaped Buildings 😊 Another big step towards smart and automatic PBD 🤖 doi.org/10.1093/jcde/q…

To help the most needed people in an emergent evacuation, we need a good database. Now, we have the Human Behaviour Detection Dataset (HBDset). doi.org/10.1016/j.jnls…

We know that Climate Change affects global wildfires 🏔 🔥 , but will the Anthropogenic warming also be an indicator for urban fire activity 🏙 🔥 ? See our latest paper: doi.org/10.1093/nsr/nw…

Is lightning the major ignition source for the wildfire 🔥 occurrence in the boreal forest of northeast China? Our latest paper shed some light on this question. doi.org/10.1016/j.agrf…

Excited to attend #SiF2024 13th International Conference on Structures in Fire, held at the beautiful University of Coimbra, Portugal 🇵🇹. Always a pleasure to meet friends in Structures in Fire field. A huge thanks to the #SiF community and our hosts for an amazing conference!
