Expertise
As a research scientist, I led large-scale fire testing programs and conducted fundamental fire suppression research, including the application of novel IR thermography techniques to capture the dynamics of large-scale fires, digital image processing, and heat release rate and flame emission analyses. My work has resulted in new FM Global protection designs for the storage of distilled spirits and other flammable liquids. In my current role as Vice President, Innovation Science & Technology, I am responsible for developing new opportunities and technologies and feeding them into FM Global’s innovation system.
