About the speaker

Chris Coffey

VP Products @ Gexcon

Chris holds a Ph.D. in Fluid Dynamics from Imperial College London and an honors degree in Mathematics with Theoretical Physics from University College London. He is a Chartered Mathematician and also holds an MBA from the Open University. He has over ten years’ experience in fluid mechanics and technical safety, working in the academic, defence, and industrial sectors. He works across the industry using mathematical and computational modelling to analyse ventilation, dispersion, gas, and dust explosions.

About FLUG

The FLACS User Group (FLUG) is a high-profile discussion forum for engineers, safety experts, and industry scholars.

FLUG meets to discuss new software developments and safety-related topics. Its work has played an integral role in the development of Gexcon’s industry-leading software, which represents more than 40 years of extensive and unrivalled modelling and validation work.
