Position: Hourly Student Position
Project: Developing and Calibrating Fragmental Rockfall Models using Physics Engines (TPF-5(459))
Overview:
We are seeking an hourly student position to assist with our Fragmental Rockfall Models project, led by Dr. Joseph Wartman in the Geotechnical Engineering Department. This project seeks to develop and calibrate fragmental rockfall models using a 3D physics engine.
Key Responsibilities:
- Clean vegetated LiDAR slopes
- Create photogrammetry models from acquired data
- Combine LiDAR and photogrammetry models and mesh the models for use in the physics engine
- Collaborate with team members to interpret results and refine models as needed
- Document workflow and findings for project transparency and continuity
Required Skills and Qualifications:
- University of Washington student
- Ability/willingness to learn how to use CloudCompare software and other relevant software programs
This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to work on a research project for some time during the summer (approximating 80-100 hours total). We encourage all those interested to apply.
To Apply:
Please submit your resume, a brief cover letter, and any relevant portfolio work that highlights your experience with spatial modeling and data analysis.
