Girma Bitsuamlak is a Professor of Wind Engineering at Western University, where he directs the WindEEE Research Institute and WindEEE Research Facilities. His research expertise focuses on the modeling of extreme wind effects on civil infrastructure, including hurricanes and tornadoes, as well as the interplay of aerodynamics and micro-climate stressors assessed through sustainable building thermal energy performance and natural ventilation. His work utilizes a combination of computational fluid dynamics-based simulations and assisted Artificial Intelligence, employing high-performance computing alongside physical experiments. As a Fellow of the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers, he has conducted significant studies on wind-induced load responses for notable super tall buildings, including the Freedom Tower in New York, the International Commerce Center in Hong Kong, and Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Bitsuamlak has a committed research team that actively investigates climate-resilient sustainable buildings and neighborhoods, pushing the boundaries of wind engineering.
Streams include Archaeology and Bioarchaeology, and Sociocultural Anthropology.
