I am a tenured associate professor of fluid dynamics, scientific computing, and atmospheric sciences. My research uses computational techniques for fluid flows to study clouds, hurricanes, and tsunamis. I am interested in the design of efficient numerical methods for low Mach number compressible flows and the design of dynamic and minimal- dissipation sub-grid scale models for Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of very-high Reynolds number flows. My research has been funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the European Union, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA), and a handful of private companies.
