Cung Nguyen

Cung Nguyen is a Lecturer in Civil Engineering at the University of Salford, within the School of Science, Engineering & Environment. His research focuses on Wind Engineering and Structural Dynamics, with particular emphasis on modeling and simulations of typhoon wind fields, wind loading, wind-induced structural vibrations, and infrastructure resilience to wind hazards.

His research interests include:

• Wind Engineering
• Structural Dynamics
• Infrastructure resilience to extreme events
• Climate change

Dr. Nguyen's research employs analytical, numerical and probabilistic modeling, wind tunnel testing, and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. His work has been funded by prestigious organizations including the Royal Society, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), Newton Fund, and UK Turbulence Consortium. His recent publications (2019-2024) show a strong focus on vortex shedding, wake dynamics, building clusters, and structural responses to wind loading, reflecting his expertise in wind engineering applications.

Dr. Nguyen contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals related to resilient infrastructure, sustainable cities, and climate action.

He teaches several modules including:

• Mathematics for Civil Engineering (Level 4-5)
• Highway Design and Analysis (Level 5)
• Case studies in Environment Engineering (Level 6)
• Finite Element Methods with Applications in Seismic Engineering (Level 7)
• Tall buildings (Level 7)
