Biographie:
Ali Rangwala is Professor in Fire Protection Engineering at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). He also holds joint appointments as a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Chemical Engineering at WPI. Professor Rangwala serves on the Fire Safety Journal editorial board, the scientific advisory board for the Fire and Explosion Hazard International Conference, and NASA?s Biological and Physical Sciences (BPAC) Advisory Committee. Professor Rangwala?s research interests include problems related to industrial fire and explosion problems. He has worked on topics such as the deflagration of combustible dust clouds, ignition behavior of combustible dust layers, in-situ waste burning, velocity measuring techniques in chemically reacting flows, and flame propagation and burning rate behavior of condensed fuel surfaces. He is a recipient of the IAFSS Best Thesis Award (2006), the NSF Career Award (2008), and the Sigma Xi senior faculty research award (2017). He is a member of the National Fire Protection Association Technical Committee on Fundamentals of Dust Explosion.
