Experimental and Numerical Study of Glass Façade Breakage Behavior under Fire Conditions

Dr. Yu Wang is currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Edinburgh. After receiving his double Ph.D. degrees from University of Science and Technology of China and City University of Hong Kong in 2016, he became a Research Fellow at the National University of Singapore. His Ph.D. thesis was nominated as an “Excellent Ph.D. Thesis” by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has published more than 30 peer-reviewed journal papers. His research interests include thermal breakage behavior of glass façades, compartment fire dynamics, and fire safety of green buildings.
