Florida State University researchers will use new funding from the National Science Foundation to investigate mechanisms that drive wildfire spread.
Professor of meteorology Ming Cai; Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Institute (GFDI) director and professor of scientific computing Kevin Speer; associate professor of scientific computing Bryan Quaife; and Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Science research faculty Jie Sun are part of a multi-institution team awarded a three-year, nearly $900,000 NSF grant to explore how atmospheric factors influence wildfires and to improve emergency responses by developing computer models and simulations of wildfires.

David Robinson graduated from Florida State University in Spring 2023 with a doctorate in computational science from the Department of Scientific Computing, part of the College of Arts and Sciences. Robinson was the first graduate of the department’s fire dynamics doctoral program, one of two interdisciplinary graduate degree tracks in association with FSU's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Institute. Currently, Robinson is a postdoctoral researcher at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico where he develops the QUIC-Fire code, a bite-sized version of complex fire modeling techniques, to precisely model prescribed burns. QUIC-Fire models enable better-informed natural resource management at the local and regional levels.

FSU’s Department of Scientific Computing will host the 14th International Conference on High Energy Density Laboratory Astrophysics, or HEDLA, May 20-24 at the Hotel Duval in Tallahassee.
FSU’s Department of Scientific Computing will host the 14th International Conference on High Energy Density Laboratory Astrophysics, or HEDLA, May 20-24 at the Hotel Duval in Tallahassee. The conference will welcome scientists from a variety of disciplines to discuss the most recent advancements in high energy density physics, a relatively new physics subfield comprising the intersection of condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics and plasma physics.
“HEDLA will bring over 100 scientists from academia and government research laboratories from the U.S., Europe and Asia to FSU... It is a chance for the university to demonstrate its support for top scientific research and for FSU researchers to develop new meaningful collaborations in science, technology, engineering and math fields.”
Tomasz Plewa, conference co-organizer & Professor of Scientific Computing
