Dr. Shaokun Ge | Engineering | Best Researcher Award 

China Academy of Safety Science and Technology | China

Shaokun Ge is a Chinese researcher whose work focuses on the thermal and toxic hazards associated with vehicle‐fires on bridges and the consequent implications for structure, rescue operations and traffic strategy. Having earned a BSc in Mining Engineering followed by a D.C. in Safety Engineering, he has developed a profile around four main research strands: the burning behaviour of bridge vehicle fires (including influences of fire type/scale, ambient wind, and decker spacing/sound-barriers); thermal damage to bridge structures and to personnel (through temperature prediction models and fire-resistant materials for key load-bearing elements, as well as thermal‐hazard evaluation from the standpoint of escape and rescue); toxic-gas generation and distribution in bridge‐fire scenarios (addressing asphyxiating/irritating gases, horizontal/vertical distribution at human height, and toxicity-evaluation modelling); and traffic management plus rapid extinguishing systems for bridge fires (e.g., controlling extremely hazardous vehicles, fire-fighting systems employing river water, and micro-foam extinguishing approaches). As of now, his h-index stands at — and his publication and citation counts are —, reflecting that bibliometric details are still being assembled/verified. His work integrates bridge engineering, fire safety, toxicology, and traffic management, aiming to enhance resilience and rapid response in the event of bridge vehicle‐fires.
