Keynote
Jonna Hynynen obtained her PhD in Materials Chemistry from Chalmers University of Technology in 2019 and is currently a researcher at Chalmers Industriteknik. She specializes in the safety aspects of lithium-ion batteries, with a focus on combustion gas toxicity and dispersion, fire effluents, and supporting risk assessment, fire protection design, and safe BESS deployment. Her work combines experimental research, analysis, and application-oriented insights, bridging the gap between scientific understanding and practical fire safety engineering.
