Please join us for our February meeting where we are pleased to be joined by Juliette Franqueville and Leslie Marshall.
Juliette will present on Deep-Learning for Flame Characterization in Compartment Fires and Leslie will give us an update on the work being done by the SFPE Foundation. You can see their impressive bios here.
For who haven’t renewed for 2024, please do so here. As a reminder, we have changed our dues structure to cover all in-person and virtual meetings, as well as providing discounts for other events, access members-only information and activities, and much more. So please re-new today!
Speaker Bios:
Juliette Franqueville is a Ph.D. candidate in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. She graduated with an MEng in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Edinburgh, Scotland. She is part of the UT Fire Research Group (UTFRG). She is advised by Dr. Ofodike Ezekoye, an expert in combustion and heat transfer in high-temperature and reacting systems such as combustion engines, furnaces, structure, and battery fires. Juliette Franqueville's research focuses on using data-driven methods to model fires, including compartment fires and lithium-ion battery fires. She has published articles in Fire Technology and in the Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries, presented at the 2023 SFPE annual conference, and was awarded a student research grant from the SFPE Foundation.
Leslie Marshall, Ph.D. is Director of the SFPE Foundation, a global non-profit organization affiliated with the Society of Fire Protection Engineers that supports research and education to improve the scientific understanding of fire and its interaction with the social, natural, and built environments. Dr. Marshall oversees all Foundation programs: facilitating professional awards, student scholarships, and research grants; leading cross-sectoral research collaborations; conducting research workshops and meetings; developing initiatives to support the next generation of fire protection engineers; and disseminating knowledge to advance the field of fire engineering and fire safety science. Dr. Marshall has published multiple policy reports and academic journal articles and frequently speaks on resilience and sustainability, equitable economic development, and infrastructure and workforce transition. She has presented at the Fire and Evacuation Modeling Technical Conference, the NFPA Annual Conference, the SFPE Annual Conference, Penn State’s Energy Days, and the International Studies Association Annual Conference, among many others. An affiliate of the Economic and Social Rights Group at the University of Connecticut, she has also consulted for the United Nations Development Programme, Innovations for Poverty Action, the Centre for Women in Governance, and the Lebanese Center for Policy Studies, among others.
