Research Interests

My research interests are broad within the areas of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and scientific computing.   I am interested the application of CFD to both environmental and engineering problems.  Specific interests include atmospheric and Earth system modeling, transport and dispersion, multi-scale multi-physics model development, turbulence, large-eddy simulation, immersed boundary methods, physics parameterizations, and aerodynamics.
