Since coming to UW in 2004, I have supervised around twenty one term NSERC USRA projects (around because I am not sure how to count co-supervision).  Nearly all these students have moved onto graduate school in locations as close as UW and as far as UBC.  I have supervised and co-supervised Master’s students in Applied Math and in other departments.  Many have moved into PhD programs and several entered the workforce (this is an increasing trend).  I have also supervised and co-supervised multiple PhD students.  They have continued their careers as postdocs (UBC, WLU) and in industry (D2L). As a group they have been very successful in scholarship competitions. One won the CMOS thesis prize (The Tertia Hughes prize).

 

The present size of the lab varies, though recently it was as many as 8 students. Interests include mode-2 internal waves, Lagrangian models of zooplankton, internal wave interactions with the bottom, double diffusive instabilities, analysis methods for turbulent flows, and the modeling of flow in cenotes. I believe that talking to present students in the lab is a great way to find out what is really going on and I will happily put interested students in touch with lab members.

 

Interested students should contact me by email.  I am actively looking for students in both computational and scientific aspects of my NSERC Discovery Grant funded research program and genuinely enjoy chatting about research over email, phone or skype.
