Research Interests

My research interests lie in the development of accurate, stable, and efficient algorithms to numerically model geophysical fluid flows. Geophysical fluid dynamics presents several challenges that currently make a complete model computationally intractable or physically unreliable. Each facet of my research tends to address one or both of these issues in an effort to better understand energy propagation and transformation in the ocean.

Focus Areas

Computational Fluid Dynamics, Adaptive Mesh Refinement, Stratified Flows, Nonlinear Internal Waves.
