WIND engineering

It is with great pleasure that I announce that from mid-May
Prof. Luca Caracoglia (Northeastern University, Boston MA, USA)
will be UniGe Visiting Professor.

During the visiting period, starting from 17 May, Prof. Caracoglia will hold a PhD course entitled
"Probability-Informed Wind Engineering against Synoptic and Non-Synoptic Wind Hazards".
All information is contained in the attached file.

Those interested in participating are invited to write to me.
Thank you very much for the attention,
kindest regards

This Virtual Specail Issue deals with papers on CFD simulation of pedestrian-level wind conditions around buildings, published in the Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics (JWEIA).

The laboratory for fluid structure interaction (LIFE) at Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) in Tarragona, Spain is looking for a Postdoc candidate to apply for the Beatriu de Pinós scholarship. The candidate will work in a project involving fluid-structure interaction in offshore engineering with applications to wind energy and the dynamics of offshore structures.
