A great recognition for Marko Horvat, former SMaRT Early Stage Researcher and his co-authors!
We are pleased to announce that Roberto Nuca, the ESR2 of the SMaRT team, successfully defended his PhD thesis on 13th of July 2021, titled A Windblown Sand Transport Model for Large-Scale Industrial Applications.
We would like to thank the jury for a very stimulating discussion, all the questions, and their interest in the topic of mathematical modeling of the windblown sand transport.
The second SMaRT PhD Thesis will be discussed soon. The defence of Roberto Nuca (ESR2) will take place on Tuesday, July 13th, 2021. The Evaluation board reflects the multidisciplinary and multisectoral features of the Thesis. It is composed by:
