11 About the Author The author is currently the President of his own consulting company, Yung & Associates Inc. He has worked in fire research and fire risk assessment for over 20 years. From 2002 to 2006, he was Research Leader of Fire Science at the Australian national research organization CSIRO in Sydney, Australia. Before that, he was a Senior Research Officer and Group Leader of Fire Risk Assessment for 17 years at the National Research Council Canada (NRCC) in Ottawa. He led a team that developed one of the world s comprehensive fire risk-cost assessment models, called FiRECAM. Before joining the fire research group at NRCC in 1985, he spent seven years at the Argonne National Laboratory in the USA, and three years at the Chalk River Nuclear Laboratory and NRCC, conducting nuclear and solar energy research. The author s work is mentioned in the book History of Fire Protection Engineering, published in 2003 by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE) in the USA. He is a member of the NFPA Technical Committee on Fire Risk Assessment Methods. In September 2003, he was given the Hats Off award by SFPE for his service as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Fire Protection Engineering. In May 2001, he was elected a Fellow of the SFPE for his achievement in fire protection engineering. He has over 100 publications in fire, nuclear and solar energy, and desalination and water purification. He serves on the editorial boards of three major international fire journals and is the past Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Fire Protection Engineering.
12 x About the Author He holds a B.Eng. from McGill University, an M.A.Sc. from the University of Toronto, and a Ph.D. from MIT, all in mechanical engineering. In addition, he is a licensed professional engineer in the Province of Ontario, Canada and a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
13 Preface The concept for this book originated in late 2001 when John Wiley & Sons Inc. approached me with a proposal to write a book on fire risk assessment. At that time, I was a Senior Research Officer at the National Research Council Canada (NRCC) and had conducted research on fire risk assessment for 15 years. I was happy to accept the challenge to write a book based on my observations and research findings on fire risk assessment over the years. Shortly after agreeing to write the book, I accepted an invitation from CSIRO in Australia to lead their fire science group. Working in a new organization and living in a new country, however, did not permit me much time to work on a book hence, it wasn t until I returned to Canada in 2006 that writing began in earnest. My involvement in fire risk research was preceded by a number of years in energy research. I had spent time at the Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago working on thermal hydraulic issues related to nuclear reactor safety, and heat transfer issues related to Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion in Hawaii. I also spent time at the Chalk River Nuclear Laboratory working on heat transfer issues related to the Canadian CANDU reactor; and later at NRCC conducting research in solar energy. The cessation of government funding for energy research in 1985 resulted in a career change to fire research, in particular fire risk assessment research. My interest in fire risk assessment research was influenced by two individuals. The first was Professor Vaughn Beck of the Victoria University of Technology in Australia who spent time on sabbatical at NRCC in early His great enthusiasm for the development of computer-based fire risk assessment models was contagious. The second was Ken Richardson who was, at that time, the Associate Head of National Fire Laboratory at
14 xii Preface NRCC. He saw the need for fire risk assessment models and encouraged me to lead research in that area. As a result, I formed a team at NRCC to conduct research and to develop fire risk assessment models. The team collaborated successfully with Professor Beck s Australian team throughout the 1990s. The NRCC team had been strengthened by the addition of two prominent researchers: Dr George Hadjisophocleous and Dr Guylene Proulx, both of whom made significant contributions to the development of fire risk assessment models at NRCC. Many of the concepts described in this book were developed by the NRCC and the Victoria University of Technology researchers throughout that period and I am grateful for all of their contributions. This book has been prepared as a reference source for fire safety professionals working in the fire risk assessment field. It is also intended as a textbook for university students in fire protection engineering. It is my hope that it will serve both fields well. David Yung Toronto, Canada
