Fire is an oxidation process that releases energy in varying intensities in the form of light (with wavelengths also outside the visual spectrum) and heat and often creates smoke. It is commonly used to describe either a fuel in a state of combustion (e.g., a campfire, or a lit fireplace or stove) or a violent, destructive and uncontrolled burning (e.g., in buildings or a wildfire).

My work in the field of Fire Science seeks to understand how fire works within both a lab and in the real world. I seek to give an understanding of fire in practical settings, and to give us a better understanding of it's mystery.
