About Me
Professor G.A. Kopp is an internationally renowned expert in the field of wind engineering, in the areas of building aerodynamics and wind tunnel testing, the effects of severe storms on the built environment, and the occurrence of tornadoes in Canada. He has transformed approaches to identifying tornado occurrence and classification as a co-founder of the Northern Tornadoes Project and transformed design of building components and cladding under severe wind loads through the development of pioneering test methods at the ‘3 Little Pigs’ Project together with many theoretical developments. His research is widely used in wind design standards around the world.
