Offer Description The Research Contract is part of the Horizon Europe BEHOLDER project, which focuses on the development of IoT technologies for the detection of CBR threats in public spaces and critical infrastructures. The researcher will contribute to the development of an urban dispersion simulator (Python/Blender), currently based on Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) and integrated with an IoT monitoring network. The work will also include the definition and implementation of test scenarios for the validation of the simulator, including the use of data collected through a wearable sensor network for air quality monitoring, developed in-house at the LaRes laboratory of DEIB. These data will be used to feed the simulator with real‐world exposure measurements.
