where he has been Reader in Fire Safety Engineering since 2003. His research is in the very broad area of modelling in relation to fire safety; including deterministic and probabilistic modelling as well as qualitative research, in particular applying the concepts of systems to safety management. His research has covered fire safety in buildings, offshore installations and railways. Since 1993, a major research interest has been in the field of tunnel fires. He has conducted research for both government departments and industrial companies. Further, his papers have been used as key references by the International Standards Organization and some of his research has been translated into Japanese. More generally, he is concerned to help to develop a framework for the acceptable use of fire models in fire safety decision-making.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
