Scholar-generated biography
Augustin Guibaud is a researcher in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at NYU Tandon School of Engineering, focusing on Combustion, Fire, and Physics-informed machine learning. His work explores flame behavior in microgravity and partial gravity environments, particularly in the context of spacecraft fire safety. Guibaud investigates flame spread over electric wire insulation, soot production, radiative heat transfer, and the impact of flame retardants and oxygen depletion on combustion processes. His research also includes experimental and numerical studies on fire safety modeling for historic buildings and battery thermal runaway. Guibaud's work emphasizes the integration of physics-informed machine learning to enhance predictive models for fire dynamics.
