Houzhi graduated in 2018. His research developed a greater understanding of the initiation of smoldering combustion under different conditions. With little currently known about how smoldering contributes to fire development and ignitions, Houzhi looked at the effects of oxygen concentration and heat transfer on the initiation of smoldering, and how it impacts different vegetation types. Houzhi was awarded the best paper prize at the Australian Combustion Symposium in Melbourne in December 2015.
Houzhi is currenlty a postdoc researcher at the Universtiy of Adelaide.
