Conducted experimental research on firebrand generation from wildland-urban interface (WUI) fuels to support wildfire behavior modeling. Utilized a wind tunnel to simulate varying wind conditions on burning Douglas fir and eucalyptus branches, helping to quantify firebrand production under controlled laboratory settings. Served as a contributing author on the peer-reviewed paper “Laboratory quantification of firebrand generation from WUI fuels for model development,” published in the Fire Safety Journal, reflecting active involvement in both experimental work and academic writing.
