Kevin LaMalva has 14 years of experience as a Fire/Structural Consultant with dual registration in both fire protection engineering and civil engineering. Aside from faithfully serving clients, Kevin is a member of numerous industry committees (ASCE/SEI, SFPE, ICC, NIST, NFPA, and others) that conduct research and develop standards for structural fire safety. Notably, Kevin led a group of over 50 engineers to develop a first-of-its kind ASCE/SEI Exemplar Design Guide for structural fire engineering. For his efforts in advancing structural fire safety, Kevin was awarded the distinction of ENR Newsmaker for serving the "best interests of the construction industry and the public."

Dr. Danny Hopkin is a chartered engineer, fellow of the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE), fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and professional member of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE). He studied structural engineering before completing a doctorate in structural fire safety. Danny is the Technical Director of OFR Consultants in the UK, and a Visiting Professor in structural fire safety at the University of Sheffield. He has delivered specialist structural fire input on high profile projects, including the Google HQ in London. He has also undertaken research in the fields of performance based structural fire design, reliability and mass / engineered timber structures. Danny was the chairman of the committees overseeing the revision of PD 7974-1 and PD 7974-3, whilst contributing to PD 7974-7 and the ongoing revision of Eurocode 5, part 1.2.
