Augustin Guibaud ,

Ph.D.

Dr. Augustin Guibaud is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) and a member of the Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP). His research focuses on hazards through physics-based modeling and physics-informed machine learning (PIML), with a particular emphasis on fire safety challenges in complex environments. His expertise spans urban air quality monitoring during large-scale haze events, fire dynamics in low buoyancy conditions for space exploration missions, heritage conservation through the modeling of fire-structure interactions, city-scale fire modeling in densely populated areas, and land management strategies for wildfire resilience. Dr. Guibaud's work bridges practical applications with fundamental lab-scale analyses.

Dr. Guibaud is an active member of the Fire Safety in Space ESA International Topical Team, the Combustion Institute, and the Structure group of the French CNRS/Ministry of Culture's Chantier Scientifique Notre Dame de Paris. He also serves as an Honorary Lecturer at University College London in the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geomatic Engineering.

His contributions have been recognized with several prestigious awards, including the 2020 Prix de la Chancellerie and the Distinguished Paper Award at the 39th International Symposium on Combustion.
