We are seeking for students interested in being trained in multidisciplinary practices dealing with wind related events, to be our eyes and ears for wind hazards around the world, and on-call for deployment to damage sites in the event of a hurricane or tornado. A few of your responsibilities would be to conduct damage surveys, measure wind speeds, and make other observations meant to help identify failure mechanism and produce statistical analysis of the data. You would also assist a few of Dr. Prevatt’s graduate research students in various extreme wind related projects.
We will prepare students to be helpful before and after a hurricane or tornado
