Our latest work shows that a pre-charred surface can significantly reduce the flammability of timber materials, and the observed flames become weaker, thinner, and bluer than that of virgin wood. (authors.elsevier.com/c/1gREW1MLXea6…) Xinyan Michael Gollner Yunzhu IAFSS

Glad to share our latest paper "Flame Flickering can Cease Under Normal Gravity and Atmospheric Pressure in a Horizontally Moving Dual Burner System" on Physical Review Applied of American Physical Society, which will be featured by New Scientist and Joseph Manguno later. journals.aps.org/prapplied/abst…

Beautiful work by ⁦Xiaoyu Ju⁩ & Yuji Nakamura: New Technique Generates Non-Flickering Flames at Normal Gravity and Atmospheric Pressure. I’ve watched this flickering flame development for years and the results have been fascinating aps.org/publications/a…

Looking forward to giving a The Combustion Institute webinar this Thursday. I will give my take on how combustion research can be applied to wildland fire science. gatech.zoom.us/j/93902983425

What are everyone's thoughts on using AI in wildland fire? I'm speaking with a group next week where we will discuss this, especially applied to modeling. Use cases, opportunities, challenges, even dangers. I have my own thoughts, but would love to integrate #FireTwitter thoughts

Amazing opportunity for a postdoc on wildland fire communications with the talented @jcobianMerced - please spread the word and apply if interested!

Excited to share my new paper: "The effectiveness of filter material for respiratory protection worn by wildland firefighters." We study different mask materials and, unsurprisingly, find N95 or better materials are needed for filtration doi.org/10.1016/j.fire…

Well deserved 👏🎉

Incredible talk by Dr. Xinyan and I’m lucky to attend in person.

It’s been 5 years for me to revisit University of Maryland where I did fire safety research during my PhD under the mentorship of Dr. Gollner Michael Gollner. It reminds me a lot of wonderful memories 🐢

Students and I had a fun day filming for an upcoming television series on wildfires in the lab today. Smoke, embers, and fire whirls! (sorry I didn’t snag a photo of the whirl this time!)

Lucky to have an amazing team of students and researchers here at UC Berkeley. Photos from our annual end of semester gathering and our summer lab cleanup. Experiments are burning and research moving forward!

Excited about another new paper out in the Proceedings of The Combustion Institute , "Quantification of firebrand generation from WUI fuels for model development: Firebrand generation rate, surface temperature and heat release rate" led by Xiaoyu Ju .doi.org/10.1016/j.proc…
