NSERC Presents 2 Minutes With Michael Montgomery

Highrise buildings are becoming increasingly tall and slender. When they sway in the wind, people inside can feel the motion and in extreme cases, motion sickness can occur.
Dr. Michael Montgomery addressed these challenges while working on his Ph.D. at the University of Toronto, under the supervision of Professor Constantin Christopoulos. The Wind-Earthquake Coupling Damper is an innovative technology for reducing wind and earthquake vibrations in highrise buildings.
