معرفی
Lars Schiøtt Sørensen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), where he is affiliated with the Structures and Safety research group. His work focuses on fire safety engineering, particularly fire-induced structural failures and protective systems.
His research interests span fire safety engineering, structural integrity under fire conditions, water mist fire suppression, and thermal radiation shielding. He investigates phenomena such as fire-induced glass breakage, droplet dynamics in water mist curtains, and the interaction between ventilation and fire suppression systems in tunnels.
The recent publications reflect a strong trend in numerical modeling and experimental validation of fire protection technologies, particularly focusing on innovative solutions for buildings and transport infrastructure. His work integrates mechanical engineering principles with safety science to improve resilience in urban and industrial environments.
