Biography
Paul-Antoine Santoni is currently Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Combustion at the University of Corsica, France. He was Director of the Forest Fire research team at the University of Corsica UMR CNRS 6134 from 2000 to 2006, and then from 2011 to 2016. He is currently Director of the CNRS Fire Research Grouping (GDR) n° 2864 which encompasses all the French laboratories working in the field of fire safety. He is an active member of the community of scientists working on forest fires. His fields of research include:
  • transfers of mass and energy in fires,
  • modelling of combustion and smoke emission,
  • reaction to fire
  • numerical and experimental studies into forest fires at field and laboratory level.
 
He is a reporter for several international reviews and discussions as well as a leading point of contact for scientific research proposals. He is the author and co-author of more than 50 publications (articles in international journals and book chapters) and contributor to more than 100 conferences and technical documents. Paul-Antoine Santoni has also hosted plenary conferences and is a regular participant on science committees for national and international conferences.
