People

Our research group consists of Instructors, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and undergraduates involved in MIT’s UROP Program. We present our research informally at group meetings, and host visiting speakers on Tuesday afternoons at the Physical Mathematics Seminar.



Instructors/Postdocs

Bauyrzhan Primkulov, Adam Kay, David Kouskoulas.

Graduate students

Nicholas Liu, Justin Beroz, Davis Evans, Kyle McKee, Tino Damiani, Joel Been, David Darrow.

Applied Math Lab

`

The Applied Math Lab is at the center of our group’s research activities. A central theme of our laboratory activity is the visualization of high-speed flows, for which we have state-of-the-art still and high-speed video cameras.  The lab may be found in 2-031, in the basement of the newly renovated Building 2.

“The world is our laboratory, the laboratory is our sandbox.”

Alumni

The group has numerous distinguished alumni, including  former Instructors and postdocs currently on the faculty in MIT’s School of Engineering.

Funding

The group gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the National Science Foundation, that has supported us through the Division of Mathematical Sciences, the CBET (Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport systems) and the CMMI – Dynamical Systems. We thank the MIT-France Program, which has supported a number of visiting students. We also gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Marie-Curie Foundation, the Fulbright Foundation and the Limitless Space Initiative, each of which currently supports a postdoctoral researcher in the group.
