Sunset for a CAREER grant: Short-term wind forecasting over complex terrain for grid integration
The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program at the National Science Foundation supports early career-development activities of those teacher-scholars who most effectively integrate research and education within the context of the mission of their organization. Principal Investigator (PI) Senocak will present progress made in his research laboratory as his CAREER grant is nearing to its end. In particular, PI Senocak will review technical progress in the areas of high performance computing for fluid dynamics, large-eddy simulation of winds over complex terrain and dynamic rating of powerlines. PI Senocak will also dedicate a portion of his talk to writing an effective CAREER grant proposal and leveraging it to grow your research program.

About the Presenter
Dr. Inanc Senocak received his B.S. degree in mechanical engineering from the Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey in 1998. He received his Ph.D. in aerospace engineering from the University of Florida,Gainesville in 2002. After his graduation, he held postdoctoral research positions at the Center for Turbulence Research (jointly operated by NASA Ames Research Center and Stanford University) and at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he worked on large eddy simulation of atmospheric boundary layer flows and source inversion of atmospheric dispersion events, respectively. He is the founder and director of High Performance Simulation Laboratory for Thermo-Fluids (a.k.a. HiPerSimLab). His research interests include computational fluid dynamics, wind forecasting, parallel computing, turbulence modeling, cavitating flows, and atmospheric dispersion. Dr. Senocak is a recipient of the National Science Foundation’s CAREER Award.
