Felix Wiesner

Felix Wiesner serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Wood Science at the Faculty of Forestry, University of British Columbia (UBC). His research focuses on fire safety engineering within timber-built environments, conducting large-scale compartment fire tests to evaluate structural responses and fire dynamics in engineered timber constructions.

His primary research interests include:

• Fire performance assessment of timber buildings and infrastructure
• Structural integrity analysis during fire exposure
• Integration of fire safety with wood product durability and service life
• Fire dynamics in engineered mass timber systems

Dr. Wiesner's work bridges engineering principles with sustainable construction practices, addressing critical safety challenges in modern timber architecture through experimental fire testing methodologies.

While no specific scientific awards are documented in the source material, his expertise is recognized through his specialized research focus within UBC's wood science ecosystem.

Dr. Wiesner contributes to UBC Forestry's research initiatives including the Centre for Advanced Wood Processing and BioProducts Institute. His work aligns with institutional priorities in sustainable wood utilization and urban built environments, supporting advancements in timber construction safety standards through the Department of Wood Science's research infrastructure at the Forest Sciences Centre.
