About this position
This research contract at Politecnico di Milano is based in the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering (DEIB) and is embedded in the Horizon Europe BEHOLDER project. The research focuses on developing a simulator of pollutant dispersion in urban environments aimed at improving the personalized estimation of individual exposure.
The selected researcher will work on an urban dispersion simulator implemented in Python/Blender, currently based on Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) and integrated with an IoT monitoring network. The project combines numerical modelling with sensor-driven data collection to support simulation and validation in realistic urban conditions.
A key part of the activity will be the definition and execution of test scenarios to validate the simulator. The work also makes use of data collected through a wearable air-quality sensor network developed in-house at the LaRes laboratory of DEIB, enabling the simulator to be informed by real exposure measurements.
The broader research setting connects bioengineering, environmental sensing, and computational modelling within a project that addresses pollutant dispersion and exposure assessment in public and urban spaces.
