Past Visitors
Roger Andrews
Visiting Scholar
Dr. Andrews visited the BTPC from the University of Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies, where he is a Lecturer in Physics.
Samuel Van Leuven
Visiting Scholar
Dr. Van Leuven visited the BTPC from University of the Witswatersrand, Johannesburg, where he is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow.
Geoffrey Beck
Visiting Scholar
Dr. Beck visited the BTPC from University of the Witswatersrand, Johannesburg, where he is a Senior Lecturer in Physics.
João A. P. Rodrigues
Visiting Scholar
Professor Rodrigues visited the BTPC from the University of the Witswatersrand, Johannesburg, where he is the Director of the Mandelstam Institute for Theoretical Physics.
Jeff Oishi
Visiting Faculty & Scientist
Professor Oishi visited us for a year (on sabbatical from Bates College) and gave a series of talks on computational fluid dynamics supported by the Houghton Endowment.
Haijin Cao
Visiting Faculty & Scientist
Haijin Cao is a lecturer at Hohai University in Nanjing. He is on an extended visit during 2019-2020 working on submesocale and wave dynamics using spectral methods.
Jijai Dong
Visiting Scientist in Earth, Environmental, & Planetary Sciences
Jijai Dong is a visiting scholar from China. His research focuses on the oceanic submesocale dynamics, mainly about the generation of submesocale processes and the contribution to the ocean heat and substance transport.
Glenn Flierl
Visiting Faculty
Glenn Flierl is a visiting faculty member from MIT. He is an oceanographer concerned with the theory of geophysical vortices and jets. His interests include modeling the physics, chemistry, and biology of strongly nonlinear ocean eddies and meandering jets, such as the Gulf Stream, which meander around their average paths with wave-like features having many different scales and periods, with resulting nonlinearities playing a significant role in the dynamics.
Kevin Iga
Visiting Scientist (Research)
Kevin Iga is a mathematician, working in mathematical physics. His primary work is with Adinkras, which are diagrams used to describe supersymmetry, an idea in particle physics. The mathematics of Adinkras involves error correcting codes, cohomology, partially ordered sets, Riemann surfaces, and Clifford algebras.
