Fire Research Engineer Position at LTU

Fire-Testing Facility at Lawrence Technological University

It is my great pleasure to announce my new job as a fire research engineer at Lawrence Technological University, Civil Engineering Center for Innovative Materials Research.

The fire test facility was set up by federal government funding.  My role will be to test materials on many types of military vehicles and components.  Using the most up to date testing equipment such as the fire testing furnace, loading actuator, test frame, and data acquisition, the planned work is extensive and I look forward to the challenge.  Additionally, I will further my education and maintain my always positive philosophy of “Striving to Improve”

You may have seen this fire testing furnace in the CIMR. A large chamber available for testing many different sizes and shapes of components.

The furnace is most often used by LTU civil engineering to fire test many large structural components.

LTU also has a environmental test chamber large enough to perform extreme temperature testing on vehicles and structural components as well.

My experience as a student here at LTU has called for hard work and dedication to my studies.  Its been rewarding and fun, I look forward to carrying that same dedication and hard work as a fire research engineer.  Kindest regards everyone!
