For this Fellowship, we are seeking applications from candidates with an educational background in mechanical engineering, building physics, data science, preservation science, or related field. Applicants must also demonstrate an interest in preservation science and cultural heritage preservation. Fellowship activities will include reviewing existing literature on the use of various hygrothermal modeling tools and conducting field-based comparisons of at least 2 different software platforms in collections spaces. Comparison exercises will require both real-word space modeling and some computational analysis, as well as defining which materials-focused parameters are needed to generate and inform accurate real-world and computational models. IPI staff will work with the Fellow to identify materials information needed, how best to define that information for the software, and help secure partnerships with local collections spaces (either on Rochester Institute of Technology’s campus, or in Rochester-area collecting institutions).
