Fire Materials & Modelling Group
We have a well-established team in the field of computational and atomistic modelling approaches for fire and material simulations. Led by Dr YUEN, the Fire Materials and Modelling Group comprises fire research-focused members from PolyU and UNSW (my previous organisation). Our core research focus revolves around pyrolytic study, flame retardant mechanisms, thermal degradation kinetics and fire safety on new sustainable energy systems (i.e. battery and hydrogen energy).
​
Our topics include bio-inspired and multifunctional flame retardants, battery thermal management and safety, additive-manufactured flame retardants, metro-station fire evacuation​, building fire materials tenability analysis and fire investigation studies.
