PhD Students


White
Liam White is developing algorithms for improving 3D printing. He is co-advised by Michael Borish at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Liam received a BS in Computer Science with a minor in Physics from Nova Southeastern University in 2019.

Sagel
Daryn Sagel is developing computer vision techniques to investigate properties of prescribed fire dynamics. Daryn received a BS in Applied and Computational Mathematics and Physical Science from FSU in 2019, and an MS in Computational Science from FSU in 2020.

Greenwood
Jhamieka Greenwood is using wSINDY to learn physics-based equations that govern dynamics in fire environments. She previously developed an augmented reality GPU code to simulate atmospheric flows created by fire environments. Jhamieka graduated with a BS in Chemistry from Florida A&M University in 2016 and an MS in Scientific Computing from Florida State University in 2022.

Gunasekara
Lasitha Gunasekara is simulating three-dimensional vesicles suspended in Stokes flow. He is extending previous work such including multicomponent and semi-permeable membranes. Lasitha graduated with a MS in Mathematics from Florida State University in 2023.


Masters Students


Cherry
Jake Cherry is investigating transport processes in eroded porous media. He is also interested in contributing to the Julia programming language. Jake received a BS in Applied and Computational Mathematics in 2018 from Florida State University.



Alumni


Bystricky
Lukas Bystricky was a PhD student who worked on rigid bodies suspended in viscous fluids. He completed his PhD in 2018. After graduating, he was a postdoctoral fellow at KTH in Stockholm. He is now working for COMSOL in Stockholm.

Chiu
Shang-Huan Chiu was a postdoc who characterized transport in viscous eroded geometries. After a postdoc at the New Jersey Institute of Technology and Texas A&M San Antonio, he moved to a postdoc position at Lehigh University.

Bishnu
Sid Bishnu was a PhD student who analyzed and developed time stepping methods for ocean dynamics and other geophysical flows. He was co-advised by Mark Petersen and completed his PhD in 2021. His first position after graduating was a postdoc at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. He has since moved to a postdoc position at MIT.
