Next FFP Scheduled

released April 09, 2002

The next scheduled NCSA/University of Illinois Faculty Fellows Brown Bag lecture will take place Wednesday, April 17, from noon to 1 p.m. in room 4269 of the Beckman Institute. The lecture will be webcast at http://mediavectra.ncsa.uiuc.edu/malnarloth/.

The lecture will feature Faculty Fellows Joy Malnar, an assistant professor in the School of Architecture, and Eric Loth, an associate professor of aeronautical and astronautical engineering. Their presentation, "CAVE Visualization of the Massing of Large Urban Multipurpose Buildings and their Unsteady Air Flowfields Determined by the Detached Eddy Simulation Technique," will address the use of a 3D visualization tool to predict wind characteristics in an effort to develop better architectural designs and urban environments.

The Faculty Fellows Program (FFP) offers one-year fellowships to U of I faculty engaged in research projects that could benefit from access to the world-class computing facilities and expert staff at NCSA. The program is funded by NCSA, the University of Illinois, and the office of the Vice Chancellor for Research. The Brown Bag seminar series gives current Faculty Fellows the opportunity to present and discuss their research projects with their fellow university colleagues and with the NCSA/Alliance community.
