Description
- My work under the guidance of Dr. Stan Owocki and in tandem with fellow student Deval Mehta involves using hydrodynamics codes such as Virginia Hydrodynamics One Code to model a 2-D interstellar dust cloud located beyond the accretion disk of a quasar.

Position
- Research Assistant
Description
- My work under the guidance of Dr. Fabrice Vernon looks at turbulent airflow properties in the lower marine boundary layer during various atmospheric conditions. My work involved performing data analysis on data collected from various sensors located on a tower in the Nantucket sound through the use of MATLAB.

Plain Language Summary
Air bubbles are produced when waves break at the ocean surface. The additional air‐water surface area they introduce enhances the global transfer of gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen from the atmosphere to the ocean. Understanding the dynamics of these air bubbles, in particular their residence time under water, is nece...
Laboratory measurements of droplet size, velocity, and accelerations generated by mechanically and wind‐forced water breaking waves are reported. The wind free stream velocity is up to 12 m/s, leading to wave slopes from 0.15 to 0.35 at a fetch of 23 m. The ratio of wind free stream and wave phase speed ranges from 5.9 to 11.1, depending on the mec...
