Fire Protection Engineering at WPI is at the forefront of research to better understand wildfires and their impact.00:00 Wildfire Research Funding 01:01 Fire Whirl Demonstration 01:21 Firebrand Research

James Urban, assistant professor in the Department of Fire Protection Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute is leading a study that will examine fire spread phenomenon on Earth through experiments on the International Space Station.

From solving Rubik's cubes in seconds to building their own houses, our new students are a diverse group of talented individuals. With passions ranging from music and art to engineering and activism, they are poised to make a significant impact on the world. We're excited to welcome them to the WPI community and see what they'll achieve.

Students and faculty in WPI’s Fire Protection Engineering program research many aspects of wildfires, with the goal of protecting communities. One example of this research is laboratory experiments studying the parameters that can cause wildfires to damage the electrical components in solar farms. Watch the video to learn more about this research.

On Thursday, December 5, 2024, members of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) student chapter of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers conducted controlled burns in a laboratory environment in WPI’s Department of Fire Protection Engineering. They set ablaze an artificial tree (on the left side of the screen in the video) and a real tree (on the right) to demonstrate, study, and share with the public the dangers of Christmas tree fires and to promote fire safety measures during the holiday season.

In a new WPI podcast, Richard Lopez, assistant professor of neuroscience and psychology in the Department of Social Science and Policy Studies, talks about how social interaction, learning things over time, and even confusion and failure are all crucial processes that need to be practiced and preserved in a new age of artificial intelligence.

This project’s goal was to explore how Iceland’s volcanic eruptions can be experienced in a way that is both sustainable and fulfilling for everyone. By conducting interviews with tourists and professionals and analyzing past documentaries, this project shows that there are more ways to explore Iceland than attempting to see the eruptions in person, and the importance of traveling with intention to support Iceland’s local communities and safety infrastructure. The team recommended increased risk management at the eruption sites and for tourists to mindfully plan their excursions. The findings were conveyed through a mini documentary that invites anyone interested in volcano tourism to learn how to be intentional travelers, especially when interacting with the eruptions.Documentary Created By: Jeremy Hudon, Chloe Johnson, Miles Lavoie, Gabriella LeFevre, Ethan LimaFootage Provided by:Pixabay Pexels The Icelandic Civil Protection AgencyMusic:“The Epic - Long” By Dana Music via Pixabay"In This Together" by Cold Cinema https://bit.ly/48XXlOp“Cinematic Documentary Drone” By Infraction“Hiraeth” By Scott Buckly – released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au“Documentary Background Epic Music” By Infraction“Bring Me The Sky” By Scott Buckley – released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au
