Dr. Martinat joined CCPO in August 2008 to begin work as a Postdoctoral Research Scientist with Dr. Chester Grosch. He received his Doctor of Science in fluid dynamics from the Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse. Currently, Dr. Martinat’s research interest is focused on large-eddy simulation of free-surface turbulent flows in shallow water, especially Langmuir circulations in a wind and wave-driven flow.
