This National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program award provides $548,702 to Florida State University (FSU) to conduct research aimed at enhancing the simulation of extreme winds and their impact on civil infrastructure. The project, which runs from February 1, 2024 to January 31, 2029, will leverage meta-learning systems, field observations, and experimental testing to improve understanding of site-dependent hurricane wind conditions and their effects on coastal communities. Key goals include recreating real-world hurricane wind records, simulating terrain features, integrating meta-learning algorithms, and developing a site-specific wind load inference tool. The research will be integrated with educational and public engagement activities, and data will be made publicly available through the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) Data Depot. This award aligns with NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) and addresses challenges related to mitigating and adapting to extreme wind hazards.
