A Distinguished McKnight University Professor, Cramer has an accomplished academic career, including most recently serving as VP research at the University of Minnesota.

A multi-year study conducted by Emory University and Georgia Tech helps understand how 3D printing contributes to indoor pollution and its effects.

Learning to maintain better indoor air quality is now easier as Chemical Insights published an eLearning module on SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

The UL Firefighter Safety Research Institute (FSRI) has released the new “Impact of Ventilation on Fire Damage Patterns” course for fire investigators. Through a project funded by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), UL FSRI has been studying how changes in fuel materials and ventilation effect the development of fire damage patterns in residential fires. Understanding fire dynamics is essential to understanding fire damage patterns and identifying a fire’s area of origin based on the scientific method.

Solar power has become a fast-growing energy source. Over the past couple decades, the number of new photovoltaic (PV) systems installations has increased sharply worldwide. As more PV systems are installed, the likelihood increases that fires will occur on buildings with PV systems, making it critical for firefighters to receive evidence-based training. Traditional firefighter tactics for suppression, ventilation, and overhaul are complicated by PV systems, leaving firefighters vulnerable to severe hazards.
