Dr Eng. Sebastian UKLEJA Since he started his PhD in Fire Safety Science in 2006 at Ulster University, Northern Ireland he has been always passionate about fire safety science and research. He commenced his professional career in FireSERT, Northern Ireland in 2008 where he worked for almost 6 years and took part in three EU funded research projects (Predfire Nano, Enfiro and Aircraft Fire), initially as a Project Engineer and then as a Research Assistant and finally as a Research Associate at University of Ulster. He was involved there in numerous R&D activities, e.g.: determination of flammability of carbon fibers composites used in aircrafts, experiments with environmentally friendly alternatives to brominated fire retardants and effect of nanoparticles on flammability properties of various polymers to name a few. He was also engaged in technical supervision of experimental work of students in fire safety engineering. In 2013 he decided to come back to his home country, Poland, t
