About Advanced Analysis
Independent Expertise in Fire, Explosion, and Risk Engineering
Advanced Analysis was founded by Dr. Madhat Abdel-jawad. Our reputation is built on technical excellence. Our independent studies form the basis for critical decisions, from design changes to the procedures that keep your teams safe. In a field where ambiguity is the enemy, we provide certainty.
​
We deliver more than reports. We deliver a clear understanding of risk, giving you the clarity to prevent accidents, improve performance, and operate with confidence.
Dr. Madhat Abdel-Jawad
A Recognised Authority in Explosion Safety
Dr. Abdel-Jawad is an international authority in gas dynamics and explosion science. His career combines advanced academic research with industrial consultancy, a balance that has earned him recognition as one of the field’s leading specialists.
From Fundamental Research to Industrial Application
Dr. Abdel-Jawad completed his PhD in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Queensland, focusing on hypersonics and scramjet engines, some of the most challenging areas of high-temperature, high-speed gas dynamics. This fundamental research into supersonic combustion (detonation) laid the foundation for his later work in industrial fire and explosion modelling.
​
​
Before founding Advanced Analysis, he held leadership positions globally, including as Director for leading safety consultancies in Australia, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. In these roles, he acted as the project lead for hundreds of fire and explosion studies and accident investigations for a global client list that includes nearly every major energy operator.
The Development of exploCFD: A Vision for Better Tools
During his extensive consultancy career, Dr. Abdel-Jawad identified a critical gap in the industry. The available explosion modelling tools were either too simplistic (1-D tools) or prohibitively complex, slow, and expensive (traditional CFD), requiring highly specialised experts to operate.
​
​
His firsthand experience with the limitations of existing software revealed a clear problem. He saw past the clunky legacy codes and steep learning curves to a simple truth: the industry needed a tool that was both profoundly accurate and genuinely practical. It had to deliver reliable results without bringing projects to a standstill, finally offering an alternative to the trade-off between simplistic 1D tools and impractically complex CFD models.
​
This vision is what led him to build exploCFD.
PROVEN EXPERTISE ACROSS THE FULL SPECTRUM OF MAJOR HAZARDS
High-Stakes Accident Investigation & Litigation Support
When incidents occur, we are trusted to find the definitive cause. Our work provides the technical certainty needed for legal proceedings and preventing recurrence.
-
Recent Engagements: Expert analysis for major fuel depot explosions; apartment gas explosion forensics; root cause investigation of battery manufacturing facility incidents.
Hydrogen & New Energy Safety
New energy technologies bring new risks. We apply deep gas dynamics expertise to the safety challenges of the energy transition, from hydrogen to large-scale batteries and new fuels.
-
Recent Engagements: Consequence analysis for large-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS); hydrogen vented deflagration research (Hysea JIP); safety studies for electrolyte filling stations and ammonia-based energy systems.
Oil & Gas: From Reservoir to Export
We have conducted probabilistic and consequence analysis for every major type of onshore and offshore facility, optimising designs for safety from the wellhead to the loading arm.
-
Facility Experience: FPSOs, FLNGs, Fixed Platforms, Onshore Gas Plants, LNG Trains, Refineries, Sour Gas Processing, and Pipeline Stations.
Complex Chemical & Industrial Processes
We understand the unique flammability and toxicity risks of diverse industrial operations beyond traditional oil and gas.
-
Process Experience: Ammonium Nitrate plants, specialty chemical synthesis, fertilizer production, zinc oxide processing, and waste-to-energy facilities.
Advanced Methodologies & Digital Innovation
We got tired of the limitations of standard tools. So we built our own.
