Dr Wei Wang is currently a DECRA Fellow at the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, UNSW and the core researcher of the ARC Training Centre for Fire Safety. Currently, his research works mainly focus on multifunctional flame-retardant biocoatings/composites, the fire safety of lithium batteries, and the fire safety modelling of battery pack systems. Dr Wang has been working in fire safety materials for ten years, and he obtained his PhD (fire safety materials) from the University of Science & Technology of China (USTC) and the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) in 2019. In the same year, he joined the ARC Fire Training Centre and continued researching bio-inspired flame retardants, fire-resistant polymer composites, and the fire safety of new energy battery materials. Besides making progress on fundamental research, Dr Wang has also been actively engaging with associated local industries like PJ Bowers Pty Ltd and Flame Security International on the project of the static and fire safety of polyethylene and polypropylene foams and governmental institutions such as Fire and Rescue NSW on the fire safety study of new energy vehicles.
