Rose McCallen is the Group Leader for Applied Mathematics in the Center for Applied Scientific Computing (CASC) at LLNL. Her interests are in fluid dynamics computations, experiments, and design. Specific areas of research include large-eddy simulation of turbulent separating flow and computational modeling of coupled heat transfer/fluid/structural mechanics phenomena. Along with her current duties as Group Leader in CASC, she is also Director of LLNL’s Center for Advanced Fluid Dynamics Applications, Project Leader for DOE’s Heavy Vehicle Aerodynamics Project, and an analyst and code developer in B-Division on the ALE3D Team.

Dr. McCallen joined LLNL in 1981 in the Engineering Directorate and served as Lead Engineer for an Advanced Fluid Dynamics Team before joining the Computation Directorate. She continued her education while working at the Laboratory, completing her MS in Mechanical Engineering in 1984 and her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in 1993 from the University of California, Davis. She also holds two B.S. degrees ­ one in Mechanical Engineering from California State University, Chico, and the other in Mathematics from St. Mary’s College of California.
