Biography

Dr He obtained his first engineering degree from the University of Science and Technology in Beijing, and his PhD from the University of Queensland. He served in a number of institutions and industry before he joined University of Western Sydney in 2004 and is currently heading the School's postgraduate programs including Fire Safety Engineering, Building Surveying and Design for Bushfire Prone Areas. Dr He has vast experience in fire safety engineering research, education as well as consulting. He was a group leader in the Australian Fire Code Reform Centre project, responsible for model development and validation. He participated in the development of the Australian Fire Safety Engineering Guidelines (2nd Ed) and the International Fire Engineering Guidelines.

Dr He is a member of Editorial Board of two international journals, a committee member of the International Association of Fire Safety Science, and the Vice President of Asia-Oceania Association of Fire Science and Technology.
