Matheus Almeida

Matheus is an experienced researcher and part of the prestigious Horizon Europe MODELAIR project.  MODELAIR combines doctoral research being carried out across Europe at the Technical University of Madrid, Barcelona Supercomputing Centre, the Free University of Brussels, the Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm, Microflown Technologies, the University of Bristol, ARUP, and AQC.  The project aims to develop new techniques to assess and improve urban air quality.  Matheus has significant experience in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling and is also studying Gaussian and wind tunnel approaches.  For his master’s degree at the University of Rio de Janeiro, he developed a new model to describe dispersion in porous media.  His current research with AQC will improve our understanding of air quality in UK cities, allowing better assessment techniques and improved urban design.  His work is based at AQC’s Bristol office, in collaboration with the University of Bristol.
