The Feux team welcomed – from June 26 to July 21, 2023 – Arnaud Trouvé as a visiting professor at the University of Lorraine.
1/ Can you tell us more about your background?
I’m a Professor in the Department of Fire Safety Engineering at the University of Maryland in College Park (USA), which I’ll be taking over on July 31. I joined the department in 2001 with an engineering degree (1985) and doctoral thesis (1989) from the École Centrale de Paris, and experience as a research engineer in the field of combustion.
My research activity focuses on physical modeling and numerical simulation of fires, with projects ranging from confined structure fires to open vegetation fires and explosions.
