The Fire Engineering Research Laboratory (FERL) at IITGN recently hosted a short course on AI Applications in Fire Engineering and Fire Forensics. This short course is designed to provide an integrated overview of fire dynamics, explosions, structural fires, forensic investigations, and the application of artificial intelligence. Through interactive lectures, FDS simulations, experiments, image-based fire load analysis, and real-world case studies, participants will gain both theoretical understanding and practical experience. The program also highlights the growing role of AI in fire modeling, image analysis, and forensic reporting, while addressing emerging challenges
