This week I presented my research on the structural hazards of smouldering in mass timber buildings at IAFSS2023 in Tsukuba, Japan! 🔥🌲🏢 Imperial Hazelab 👨🏽‍🔬👩🏼‍🔬 🔥

I am happy to share our new book "Intelligent Building Fire Safety and Smart Firefighting" co-edited with Wai Cheong Tam. Book link: link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9… IAFSS Springer Nature @SFPE_Inc

Happy to share our latest paper "Resurfacing of Underground Peat Fire: Smoldering Transition to Flaming Wildfire on Litter Surface" published in the International Journal of Wildland Fire. Yunzhu Yuying Chen Xinyan (Open access: doi.org/10.1071/WF23128)

Congratulations to Dr Xiaoning for defending PhD thesis!

The use of a Digital Twin platform for tunnel can improve fire safety management and facilitate firefighting and rescue operations, see our demonstration in a real-scale tunnel doi.org/10.1016/j.dibe…

We are playing the battery to another level. See how laser triggers the battery 🔋thermal runaway sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Happy to share our new paper published in the Journal of Power Sources on pyrolysis-based modelling of battery fires in thermal runaway (1/3) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Snowball fire suppression method was investigated once at Instytut Techniki Budowlanej ☃️

We burned lots of #CLT enclosures, here’s some of what we found out: link.springer.com/article/10.100… Hint: don’t partially protect…

Zilong and Diane present our latest research at the 19th International Conference on Numerical Combustion in Kyoto

🎓On May 4, 2024, I graduated with my PhD from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University #PolyU! A heartfelt thanks for the guidance of my supervisors Asif Usmani, Liming.JIANG, Xinyan and Xu Dai, incredible support from colleagues, friends, and family! 💪❤️

Welcome to the 2nd International Smart Firefighting Workshop (SureFire 2024). This one-day workshop will be held in HK PolyU on 9 July (Tuesday). firelabxy.com/surefire2024

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!
