Lu Shouxiang

Biography

Lu Shouxiang, male, born in August 1962, currently works as a professor and doctoral supervisor at the State Key Laboratory of Fire Science, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). Prof. Lu’s research directions are as follows. Research Direction 1: fire risk assessment and performance-based fire protection design method. Given the difficulties in fire protection design for large public buildings, Prof. Lu attempts to develop the performance-based fire protection design theory with a view to resolving the issue of uncertainties in performance-based fire protection design in order to advance the development of performance-based fire protection design technologies. Faced with the problem of fire supervision and management deficiencies in China’s urbanization process, Prof. Lu also commits himself to the development of fire risk assessment methods to establish fire risk assessment databases so as to enhance the technological development of urban fire protection emergency response system.

Research Interest

marine fire safety. Prof. Lu’s research also focuses on fire dynamics in closed spaces and fire plume dynamics in wind with a view to establishing marine fire safety theory and developing new marine fire protection technologies.
