Simo Haasanen
Researcher
Simo Haasanen is currently studying for a PhD.
Simo Haasanen joined the Fire Safety Engineering Group (fseg.gre.ac.uk) on 2008 and has written several software programs that are in use today:
* vrEXODUS, a graphics post-processor that creates animated 3D representations of EXODUS (fseg.gre.ac.uk/exodus/) generated simulations (fseg.gre.ac.uk/exodus/air.html#vr).
* askEXODUS, a tool designed to assist in the analysis of large data output files, produced from multiple EXODUS simulation runs. askEXODUS is bundled as part of EXODUS software suite (fseg.gre.ac.uk/exodus/option.html).
* FSEG_VALIDATOR_ACCESSOR, a validation metric evaluator (fseg.gre.ac.uk/validation/ship_evacuation/)
* and a number of internal tools not available to public.
He has also recently been involved in the development of a virtual reality representation of an evacuation model designed specifically for the rail environment funded by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT).
