WUI fires are increasing worldwide, and firebrand showers are a major cause of home ignition and community destruction. In 2024, ISO published the first international standard for generating firebrands in laboratory settings. This lecture introduces the firebrand problem, outlines the development process of the ISO firebrand generator, presents recent experiments on Japanese vegetation from the Ofunato […]

The research activities of Visiting Professor Samuel L. Manzello (Energy Dynamics Laboratory), focusing on fires in the Wildland–Urban Interface (WUI)—areas where forests and urban environments meet—were cited in a report published by the EU Joint Research Centre (JRC) in November 2025. His work and its international impact were subsequently featured on Tohoku University’s website.From Japan […]

Developing new materials can involve a dizzying amount of trial and error for different configurations and elements. It is no wonder that artificial Intelligence (AI) has seen a surge of popularity in energy materials research for its potential to streamline this time-consuming process. However, fully autonomous workflows that connect high-precision experimental knowledge to the discovery […]
