Bonnet Joins CE Adjunct Faculty
May 8, 2008
Dr. Marc Bonnet has joined the CE faculty as an adjunct professor. He is an expert in the field of computational solid mechanics and was twice the MTS Visiting Professor in geomechanics. Recently, Dr. Bonnet was instrumental in developing a proposal for a co-directed Ph.D. program in civil engineering between the U of MN and Ecole Polytechnique, France. If approved, the first-of-its-kind, trans-Atlantic doctoral program would start in Fall 2008.

CE Professors Fernando Porte-Agel and Fotis Sotiropoulos received a $1 million grant from the Xcel Energy Renewable Development Fund for the development of a virtual wind simulator for optimal design of wind energy projects. The goal of this project is to develop a multi-scale computational fluid dynamics framework for accurate high-resolution simulations of atmospheric turbulence and its interactions with wind turbines and wind energy parks.
The MAST earthquake research lab was featured during a KARE 11 news story related to the recent Midwest temblor. MAST researchers and staff discussed how the lab is used to simulate damage caused to structures by seismic events.
