Research highlight

I will join the Mechanical Engineering Department at the U. of Rochester in July 2014 as an assistant professor. I will also be working closely with people at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics.
Geoff Vallis and I were recently awarded a 3-year (03/13--03/16) $365k NSF grant to study nonlinear processes and multiscale coupling in the Ocean.
Invited to present at The 9th AIMS Conference on Dynamical Systems, Differential Equations and Applications in Orlando, Florida, July 1-5.
Invited to present at SIAM Conference on Analysis of PDEs in San Diego, California, November 14-17.
Presenting at DOE Advanced Scientific Computing Research Investigators meeting in Washington DC, October 17-19.
Invited to serve on a NASA peer review panel in Washington DC, May 23-26.
