Industrial Undergraduate Student Research Awards (IUSRA) Experience
Although she was confident and hopeful applying for an IUSRA, Shriya Agrawal was thrilled when she was accepted into the program. Working in Dr. Joshua Brinkerhoff’s UBC-Okanagan Computational Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, Agrawal investigated the impact of environmentally-friendlier and cheaper fuel alternatives in the marine, transportation, and aviation industries.
Graduate Student Profile – Kasper Juel Petersen
Kasper Juel Petersen is a PhD Student (Electrical Engineering), under the supervision of Dr. Joshua Brinkerhoff, investigating mathematical and numerical modelling of fluid flows—computational fluid dynamics. He is working towards completing his degree in 2023.
