Sara is a Research Mechanical Engineer at the Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory. Sara's research interests include understanding fundamental combustion and heat transfer processes related to the spread of wildfires. In particular, she has two main research projects. The first is to better understand the ignition process in both live and dead fuels subject to different forms of heat transfer. The second is to examine how the burning behavior of a fuel bed is affected by its characteristics and environmental conditions.
