Imperial Haze Lab

Today was my last day at the University of Edinburgh. I left my office this afternoon. I look forward continue collaborations with Edinburgh. It has been a real pleasure and privilege to work there since 2006. I now move to Imperial to continue the growth of the Edinburgh school of thought.

With my arrival to London, a new fire research group is created: the Imperial Haze Lab. It starts small, with one PhD student (plus four IMFSE students). We expect to gather pace and size in the coming years with topics of research on fire dynamics and reactive solids, in both the built or natural environments. Some examples of planned research are forecasting fire dynamic (applications both to buildings and to wildland), pyrolysis modelling, travelling fires for structural design, fire threats to renewable energies, smouldering wildfires (the largest fires on Earth) and carbon sequestration in char.
