About the group: My group focuses on developing data-driven and physics-based 
modeling techniques for a variety of engineering problems, such as fluid-structure 
interaction in high-speed flow environments, ship-airwake & aircraft interactions 
for naval applications, and management of large scientific data for DOE and NASA 
applications. Current funding in the group comes from DOE (Department of Energy), 
NASA, and ONR (Office of Naval Research). 


Position Description: Reduced Order Modeling of Incompressible Turbulent Flows
 
The PhD student will focus on the development of reduced-order and high-order 
methods for solving incompressible Navier Stokes and other related nonlinear 
partial differential equations. An ideal candidate will have:
•	received a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical/Aerospace/Ocean 
Engineering. Degree holders in Applied Mathematics are also encouraged to apply.
•	good grasp of the fundamentals of fluid dynamics
•	some experience with modifying/developing/running CFD codes
•	previous experience with (or interest in learning) Python/PyTorch/Julia
•	previous experience in numerical and computational modeling (with emphasis 
on methods development)
•	previous experience or future interest in machine learning (CNNs and RNNs)
•	excellent communication skills
Motivated and interested candidates who do not meet above list of preferences are 
also encouraged to apply.
