Ph. D. Student in Applied Math

I am a graduate student of Applied Mathematics at the University of Colorado at Boulder.  I work with advisors  Keith Julien and Natasha Flyer.



I recently attended the summer school on geophysical turbulence hosted by IMAGE at NCAR. Besides enjoying great lecture series by Prof. Leslie Smith, Prof. Joe Fernando, and Prof. Andrew Majda, we also got experience with high performance computation and data visualization. Here is some of the "art" my group (Thorwald Stein, Ed Lee) produced using VAPOR. Special thanks goes to Joe Werne and John Clyne.


We performed a numerical simulation of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. The first three snapshots are at the time when the Rayleigh-Taylor instability (due to the unstable stratification) first sets in, and are shown from a vertical perspective to highlight this secondary instability. Enstrophy (upper left), spanwise velocity (upper right), and an isosurface of temperature (lower left) are shown. The bottom right picture shows the temperature before the this secondary instability has set in.
