Carleton University’s Brandon Robinson, a Master of Applied Science student in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, won second place at the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Science, Action! video contest. Robinson is the first Carleton student to win a top-three spot in the competition. Contest submissions were limited to 60 seconds and highlighted NSERC-funded research projects or initiatives. Robinson’s winning video summarized his fascinating work on the interaction of flexible structures and airflow – such as the swaying of the CN Tower in high winds. Robinson was inspired to pursue the field of civil engineering by the towering skylines of cities like Toronto and impressive structures such as long-span bridges.
