Description
This Fulbright U.S. Scholar award combines research collaboration and advanced teaching at the University of Trento’s Department of Civil, Environmental, and Mechanical Engineering (DICAM). The three-month placement allocates 70% of activity to research and 30% to teaching. Research may be developed through mutual interest with the department or proposed by the scholar.
The scholar lectures to master’s and doctoral students in architecture and building engineering, civil engineering, environmental engineering, environmental meteorology, and doctoral-school courses. Student mentoring and thesis advising are also expected. Research opportunities span environmental resources, security, mechanics, materials and smart structures, sustainable planning and design, architectural sciences, engineering modelling and simulation, energy, and green technologies. Alongside academic collaboration, the award advances Fulbright’s goal of strengthening U.S.–international relationships and promoting mutual understanding.
