Biography

Dr John Ginger is the Research Director of the Cyclone Testing Station, at James Cook University in Townsville. He has been involved in research, testing and consulting in wind engineering since 1987.

John has extensive experience in wind tunnel model studies and full-scale field tests on projects in Australia and overseas. He has published papers and presented seminars on wind loading of structures in the areas of external and internal pressure characteristics, fluctuating loads on building components and their response, and structural vulnerability.
