Jeff Oishi
Visiting Faculty & Scientist
Professor Oishi is visiting us for the year (on sabbatical from Bates College) and will be giving a series of talks on computational fluid dynamics supported by the Houghton Endowment.
Past Visitors
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.
