Jose Thiago Gonsalves

I received my bachelor’s degrees (summa cum laude) in Aerospace and Ocean Engineering from Virginia Tech in 2016 after which I worked as a Naval Architect & Marine Engineer primarily serving the Gulf of Mexico’s offshore energy and the Great Lakes’ bulk-carrier sectors. At present, I am wrapping up my graduate studies (Mechanical Engineering) while conducting research in UBC’s Computational Multiphysics Lab under the supervision of Dr. Rajeev Jaiman. My research is focused on the development of robust, efficient, and scalable coupling algorithms for the (partitioned) high-fidelity simulation of fluid-structure-acoustic phenomenon. The intended outcome of my work, as part of the broader NSERC funded “future intelligent and green marine vessels (IGMVs)” project, is to support ongoing simulation-driven efforts to reduce the underwater noise pollution generated by maritime traffic.

Being insatiably curious and a passionate learner; if you have any interesting opportunities, need assistance on a technical task, or would like to discuss emerging trends in computational physics or the martime economy feel free to reach out to me. I am most easily accessible via my personal email address given below.
