GUILLERMO REIN
Professor of Fire Science
Department of Mechanical Engineering - Faculty of Engineering
Guillermo is Professor of Fire Science at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Imperial College London, and Editor-in-Chief of the journal Fire
Technology. He is Fellow of the Combustion Institute. His research is centred on heat transfer, combustion and fire, by the combination of lab experiments and computer models. The purpose of his work is to reduce the worldwide burden of accidental fires and protect people, their property, and the environment.
His research portfolio is ample, but over the last 20 years he is best known in
three areas: 1) how synthetic polymers and wood ignite so we can prevent
fires from starting; 2) how modern materials respond to fire so engineers can
design better structures; and 3) how wildfires spread so rural communities can be protected.
He created and leads the research group Imperial Hazelab where he has
supervised 16 postdocs and graduated 24 PhD students, 11 of whom have
become academics. The group is funded by a wide range of international
sponsors, most notably Arup, EPSRC, NIST, H2020 and the European Research Council. Hazelab has been prolific at publishing their work in more than 200 journal papers (Google h-index 62) collecting over 11k citations.
