William is a postdoctoral researcher at the Whiting School of Engineering’s Ralph O’Connor Sustainable Energy Institute (ROSEI), Johns Hopkins University, with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), Brazil. For over 10 years, he has been passionate about advancing wind energy research. His work focuses on understanding the interactions between offshore wind farms and the atmosphere, particularly developing parameterizations for fixed and floating turbines in Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) and climate models. In the past, he explored how terrain influences wind resource variability and impacts wind farm performance. More recently, his research has delved into multiscale large-eddy simulations (LES) of stable boundary layers (SBLs) and low-level jets (LLJs) as part of the American WAKE ExperimeNt (AWAKEN), led by NREL. Looking ahead, he aims to establish a research group dedicated to advancing wind energy technologies and addressing the challenges of wind energy and atmosphere interactions.
