**PhD Position on Game Engine-GIS-Simulation System for wind and noise Simulations**:
**_Develop a game changing framework of wind and noise simulation models with game engine-GIS to support urban scenario impact analysis._**

**Job description**
In this research you will work on developing responsive and high fidelity urban wind and noise simulation models in a game engine-based urban Digital Twin. You will employ the physics and rendering engines of game engine for optimized performance of computationally intensive simulation models. This research also includes the incorporation of GIS into the game engine, including spatial DataBase Management System (DBMS), open geospatial standards for interoperability and seamless interaction between the various involved data types.

The project begins with exploring the potential of incorporation of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) wind and Raytracing noise models into the game engine. You will develop a theoretical framework for game engine-GIS-simulation triplet. Further enhancements using parallel processing and GPU integration will also be explored. You will subsequently implement the developed framework and will also validate the simulation results using wind and noise observations.

This is a four-year doctoral (PhD research) appointment. You will be jointly supervised by Dr. Azarakhsh Rafiee and Prof. Peter van Oosterom. You will be a member of the Department of Architectural Engineering + Technology, Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment.The project will offer opportunities to collaborate with academics from other disciplines, as Aerospace and Applied physics as well as with industrial partners.

In the department of Architectural Engineering + Technology we currently have 6 PhD positions open.
- , Geomatics, or other related discipline;
- Knowledge on programming game engines (e.g. Unity);
- Knowledge on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD);
- Experience with (Spatial) DataBase Management Systems;
- Strong technical background and programming experience in C++/C# and Python;
- You enjoy performing research. You are independent, self-motivated and eager to learn;
- You are enthusiastic about connecting real-world challenges with fundamental research questions.
