Hadi Bordbar

Hadi Bordbar is a Visiting Professor at Aalto University's Department of Civil Engineering and affiliated with the Performance in Building Design and Construction group. He holds a Doctoral degree in Engineering and Technology from LUT University (2005). His research focuses on thermal radiation modeling, fire safety engineering, and combustion systems, with an emphasis on non-gray gas mixtures, radiative heat transfer, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

Key research contributions include detailed radiation modeling in fires, optimization of non-gray global models, and experimental studies on flame detection using infrared spectra. Bordbar has collaborated on projects like the MaCFP Radiation Heat Transfer Phenomena dataset and contributed to benchmarking radiation modeling data for fire simulations. His work integrates experimental and numerical approaches to address challenges in fire safety, energy systems, and material science.

Notable collaborations involve institutions such as Lund University and the University of Queensland. Bordbar’s research spans over 70 peer-reviewed publications, with recent focus areas including liquid pool burning dynamics, oxygen-enriched combustion, and aerosol pathogen transmission modeling in enclosed spaces.
