Cascading Risks from Weather Extremes in Critical Infrastructure Systems

University of Florida, Gainesville, FL

My Research Group (Climate Resilience Lab) in the Dept. of Agricultural and Biological Engineering (ABE) at the University of Florida has an immediate opening for one fully funded PhD student to begin in Fall 2026.

The project focuses on quantifying cascading risks from weather extremes in critical infrastructure systems across the United States. Additional details are provided in the attached PDF.

To apply, please email Nasser Najibi (nna...@ufl.edu) with a cover letter outlining your research interests, relevant experience, and motivation, a copy of your CV, and transcript(s) (subject line: “Prospective Pathfinder PhD Fellow”).

I would greatly appreciate it if you could share this opportunity with interested students.

Best,
Nasser
