Mahesh Kumar Tiwari

About

Dr. Mahesh Kumar Tiwari did his Ph.D. in Fire Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee in 2022, where he worked extensively in the field of Compartment Pool Fire, identifying and quantifying toxic hazards form fires and understanding the factors that affect fire smoke toxicity. After Ph.D. immediately he joined as Post Doctoral Fellow at Center for Safety Engineering, IIT Gandhinagar. His areas of interest include the application of quantitative risk analysis in fire safety engineering, fundamental experimental investigation of material flammability and fire dynamics, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling of flames and fires, and pyrolysis of solid and liquid fuels. He has published research papers widely in the fields of fire safety, material flammability and combustion.
