Zahra Mazlaghani
Ph.D. Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Winter 2023
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI work on advanced numerical methods that harness the massive parallelism of GPUs, i.e., real-time computer chips originally developed for graphics rendering, to overcome computational bottlenecks in structural simulations, specifically in the real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) of tall buildings in order to enable more realistic and faster simulations. I use graphics processors, for the first time, to accelerate RTHS to enable higher-fidelity "on-the-fly" simulation of civil structures.
