Lynn Hulse

Dr. Lynn Hulse is a Senior Research Fellow in Human Behaviour at the University of Greenwich's School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences. She joined the university's Fire Safety Engineering Group (FSEG) in 2005, focusing on understanding human responses to threats like fires, wildfires, and autonomous vehicle interactions. Her work integrates cognitive psychology, forensic science, and engineering to improve safety protocols.

Educated at the University of Aberdeen (PhD in Psychology) and Simon Fraser University (Visiting Scholar), she brings expertise in forensic road collision investigation and justice system reforms. Her research collaborations include fire services in Italy, Corsica, and the UK, emphasizing practical applications of behavioral models in emergency scenarios.

Key research areas include evacuation modeling, post-traumatic stress in emergency responders, and cultural differences in disaster responses. Her publications analyze behavioral aspects of wildfires, construction safety, and autonomous vehicle interactions. She contributes to national guidance on emergency preparedness and has pioneered methodologies for collecting survivor testimonies in high-risk environments.

Lynn's interdisciplinary approach bridges academic research with real-world safety innovations, addressing both technical and human factors in crisis situations.
