I would like to express my gratitude to my advisor, Prof. Ali Rangwala for his guidance, patience, and providing all the means for doing research. It is a sincere pleasure to thank Prof. Kathy Notarianni who made the whole thing possible for me. I'm grateful that I got to conduct experiments and witness dozens of fire tests during my study. I must also thank Prof. Albert Simeoni who was able to provide me with useful insights for the most part of the project. I should also thank Dr. Lydia Shi lab manager of the Combustion Lab, Sreenivasan Ranganathan, Haoran Li, Minkyu Lee, and Andre DaVitoria who assisted me on every occasion I was in need of help with my experiments. Without question the previous work done by Peter Bellino was the best guidance I could ask. Finally, I would also like to thank my parents, elder sister, and two elder brothers. They were always supporting me and encouraging me with their best wishes even though they were thousands miles away.
