Christopher Koch, Jack Tetley & Dr Amer Magrabi | AFAC | 2025
As renewable energy adoption accelerates, fire safety infrastructure must adapt to the unique hazards posed by technologies like lithium-ion batteries and solar panels.
Srinath Iyengar, Dr Mohammed Ghaffari & Dr Amer Magrabi | AFAC | 2025
The integration of natural ventilation in sustainable architecture presents new challenges for fire safety, particularly in smoke movement and compartmentation.
Christopher Koch & Dr Amer Magrabi | SFPE | 2025
The rise of AI and remote work has driven data centre growth, necessitating advanced fire safety strategies to manage lithium-ion battery risks. Data centres require robust fire safety strategies due to their reliance on lithium-ion batteries and the need for uninterrupted operation.
Srinath Iyengar & Dr Amer Magrabi | SFS | 2023
Legislative changes and increased waste generation have prompted a re-evaluation of fire safety in waste management facilities. Waste management facilities face unique fire risks due to the nature of stored materials, requiring a holistic engineering approach.
Dr Amer Magrabi & Christopher Koch | AFAC | 2022
Lithium-ion batteries are increasingly used in various sectors, but their failure modes and fire risks require specialised fire safety planning.
Dr Amer Magrabi | AIDGC | 2023
Facilities storing or processing dangerous goods face complex fire risks that demand a performance-based approach beyond prescriptive codes.
