Ed Galea (full name, Edwin Richard Galea) is a British academic specialising in fire safety engineering and evacuation dynamics. He is the founding director of the Fire Safety Engineering Group (FSEG) at the University of Greenwich, where he has conducted pioneering research in fire modelling, human behaviour in emergencies, and evacuation simulation since 1986.[1][2]
Galea has served in several major public inquiries such as the Paddington Rail Crash, the Swiss Air MD11 crash, the Admiral Duncan pub bombing, and the Grenfell Tower Fire.[3] Further, he is part of the editorial board of Safety Science and an Associate Editor for the Aeronautical Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society.
