Mr. Abid Husain Lodha is currently serving as Senior Assistant Professor in the Fire & EHS Department at GSFC University.

Mr. Lodha began his academic career at the College of Safety & Fire Technology in June 2018, where he progressed from Lecturer to Head of the Fire & Safety Department. In April 2024, he joined GSFC University as Assistant Professor and has since been promoted to Senior Assistant Professor.

His key areas of expertise include the application of fluid mechanics and hydraulic mechanisms for fire hydraulic calculations, the integration of engineering thermodynamics in fire dynamics, and the interpretation and application of NBC 2016 guidelines for fire prevention, protection, and life safety measures.

Mr. Lodha also serves as the Faculty Coordinator for the Fire & Security Association of India (FSAI) Student Chapter in the Fire & EHS Department at GSFC University, actively promoting industry–academia collaboration and student engagement in professional fire safety networks.

He holds a B.E. in Mechanical Engineering (2016) and an M.E. in Thermal Engineering (2018) from Gandhinagar Institute of Technology. In 2020, he completed his Post Diploma in Industrial Safety from the Mahatma Gandhi Labour Institute (MGLI). He is also pursuing the Graduate Institution of Fire Engineers (GI Fire) qualification from the Institute of Fire Engineers, UK, having successfully cleared three professional examinations: Fire Service Operations & Incident Command (Jan 2023), Aviation Fire Operations (July 2023), and Fire Engineering Science (July 2023).

My research interests lie in combustion science, alternative fuels, and fire dynamics.

My research interests include combustion science, alternative fuels, and fire dynamics. As part of M.E. in Thermal Engineering, I published a study titled “Performance & Combustion Analysis of CI Engine using Optimum Blend by Mixing Dual Biodiesel & Diesel” in the International Journal of Creative Research Thoughts (IJCRT). This work focused on improving engine performance and emission characteristics through sustainable fuel blends.

I aim to actively engage in international seminars, workshops, and research initiatives conducted by leading organizations such as IFE, the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE), and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) by becoming a professional member of these bodies. This will further enhance my global exposure and contribute to advancing fire safety education and practices.
