📢 Canada – PhD Position in Wind Engineering at Western University

🏛 University: Western University
🌍 Country: Canada

🎓 Fields:
Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Structural Engineering, Environmental Engineering


Are you passionate about making global infrastructure safer and more resilient in the face of extreme weather events? Do you aspire to develop advanced computational and experimental skills while collaborating with leading international experts in wind engineering? If so, this unique PhD position in Wind Engineering and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), jointly offered by Western University (Canada) and Istituto Universitario di Studi Superiori (IUSS) Pavia (Italy), could be the transformative step in your research career.


This PhD project focuses on advancing the understanding of non-synoptic wind effects—such as thunderstorm downbursts and tornadoes—on containerships and port infrastructures. Unlike typical synoptic winds, these extreme weather phenomena pose unique risks to maritime operations and port safety. The project aims to combine experimental methods and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations to develop a comprehensive experimental and numerical database for estimating aerodynamic loads during such events.
