WIND IN THE URBAN CANVAS – 3D BUILDING IMPACTS EXPLORED
Exciting News! Just published my latest research on “Investigating the Influence of 3D Building Models on Pedestrian Wind Comfort through Wind Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis”!
Curious about how the shape and detailing of buildings impact wind flow patterns and velocity, influencing pedestrian comfort? This study dives deep into the realm of Wind Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to unravel the secrets of wind behavior around 3D urbanized building models.
The findings? Diverse effects due to different building detailing, leading to multiple flow patterns and changes in wind velocity. The downstream building recorded lower velocity, thanks to wind flow separation from the building frontal. Wind comfort levels? All in the good range, falling within Beaufort wind force scale levels 2 and 3.
This research underscores the crucial role of building models in shaping wind flow patterns and velocity, ultimately impacting Pedestrian Wind Comfort. Despite varied building shapes and detailing, the wind comfort levels were suitable for pedestrians.

THE MAGIC OF TOPOLOGY: CURRENT APPLICATIONS IN 3D GIS
Exciting News! Just unveiled our latest research on “Current Uses of Topology in 3D GIS: An Overview”!
Dive into the world of 3D GIS and discover how topology plays a crucial role in shaping the landscape of spatial data! Advances in data acquisition have paved the way for detailed and accurate information, and topology adds the magic touch by maintaining connectivity, adjacency, and containment.
Curious about the findings? We scoured SCOPUS databases for literature that delves into the marriage of “topology” and “3D GIS.” The result? A categorization of three main uses of topology: validation, data reconstruction, and spatial analysis/queries.
But that’s not all – We visualized the literature review using a network map, unveiling the connectivity and weightage between terms. Ready to explore the future of 3D GIS? Swipe through our publication for a captivating journey into the uses of topology!
Your insights and discussions are invaluable! Let’s shape the future of spatial analysis together!

EXCELLENCE IN ACTION – NEVIL SHINES WITH A COMMENDABLE GRADE IN HIS VIVA VOCE!
Thrilled to share the incredible achievement of my MPhil student from Sri Lanka, Nevil! He absolutely shone in his viva voce, securing a commendable grade with just one month of corrections.
In a concise one-hour session, including Q&A, he showcased his expertise impressively.
Nevil successfully completed his MPhil research under my supervision in just 1.5 years. His accomplishments include publishing three (3) journals (Q1 and Q3), presenting at four (4) Scopus international conferences, securing three (3) intellectual properties, and having three (3) additional journals under review. In the beginning, Nevil thought achieving all this was impossible, but I continually assured him that it was possible.
Now, he’s rightfully recommended for a merit by the examiners for his study! Huge congratulations, Nevil!
