Past Work
- I worked with Dr. Ken Golden at the University of Utah studying the mathematics of sea ice. We investigated how the fractal properties of sea ice affect physcial characteristics of the ice
such as melt rate, fluid propogation, and porosity. This project led to an Arctic 'Mathpedition' (research expedition with a math flavor).
- During visits to Woods Hole Oceanography Instition (2023 and 2024) I was able to work with Drs. Claudia Cenedese, Alan Condron, and Jim McElwaine to experimentally explore
the melt rates of sediment laden icebergs.
Current Work
I am working with Dr. Krutika Tawri on problems involving fluid structure interaction.
We are currently looking into under what conditions can finite-time contact occur in
fluid-elastic structure interaction.
