Dr. Biao Sun is a lecturer at Curtin University with expertise in process risk management and consequence modelling. His PhD research focused on “Numerical Simulation of Dense Gas Dispersion and Fire Characteristics following Liquefied Natural Gas Release,” where he developed advanced modelling techniques for predicting hazardous outcomes. Since 2019, he has been teaching the unit “Process Safety and Risk Management,” contributing to both undergraduate and postgraduate education in chemical engineering. His research has since broadened to include safety assessments and risk analysis in emerging energy sectors, particularly involving hydrogen and ammonia processes, with a focus on sustainable and low-carbon technologies.
