Volker Buttgereit
Director
Having gained professional qualifications as an aeronautical engineer at the Department of Aeronautics at Imperial College London, Volker Buttgereit completed post graduate research in numerical and physical modelling of aerodynamic and hydrodynamic flows for axial flow turbines used in the conversion of wave, tidal and wind power leading to a PhD in unsteady fluid dynamics.
Dr. Buttgereit commenced his working career in the Future Projects Department of Deutsche Aerospace Airbus in Hamburg, Germany. During this time he gained substantial experience in aerodynamic design of aircraft wings and wing body combinations using experimental and computational assessment methods.
Following completion of his post graduate studies at Imperial College he worked as wind engineer at Ove Arup in London gaining experience in all aspects of tall building aerodynamics and design of natural ventilation schemes for office buildings.
Dr. Buttgereit joined BMT Fluid Mechanics in 1999 as project manager in the Fluid and Structural Mechanics Department's Civil Structures Group, of which he became a manager in 2001. During this time he has gained significant experience in all aspects of tall building aerodynamics, aerodynamics of long span bridges and large roof structures and has project managed a number of the Departments' high profile projects in the UK and mainland Europe as well as the Middle East and the Far East. In addition, he has played a leading role in the Departments' work to support Environmental Impact Assessment for large master plans and building complexes.
Dr. Buttgereit was appointed Director of BMT Fluid Mechanics in 2003.
