Since Dr. Hong-Zeng Yu retired two years ago, FM had no representative on the IWMA Scientific Council. In February 2025, Dr. Xiangyang Zhou applied for a seat on the council and was accepted. Dr. Xiangyang Zhou is Senior Lead Research Scientist and has extensive knowledge and many years of experience in sprinkler and water mist fire protection research and testing.
About his acceptance he says: “I am very grateful and happy to be approved as a member of the IWMA Scientific Council. I have worked at FM for years on the research of water mist fire protection and am currently working on a project to develop its application. I will be very happy to work with the Scientific Council and contribute my knowledge to advance the development of water mist fire protection worldwide.”
