About me: I came to ODU in 2007, after spending almost eighteen years at Princeton University. Over the past two decades I have managed and provided support to the Princeton Ocean Model (POM) users group of some 4,000 modelers from 70 countries; I have been involved with various projects of ocean modeling, including the development and testing of numerical codes, data assimilation techniques and forecast systems.
Research interests: physical oceanography, numerical ocean modeling, coastal circulation, mixing processes, physical-biological interactions and more. I use models for wide range of simulations, from Caribbean coral reefs to Cook Inlet, Alaska, and from the Dead Sea to the Bering Sea (see globe below). I am looking for graduate students who have interest in numerical ocean modeling.
