Brief Bio
Dr. Matheou joined the department of Mechanical Engineering in August 2017 from NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He combines theory, modeling, state of the art computational algorithms, in situ measurements and remote sensing data to understand and predict complex multi-physics fluid flows, which include the interaction of several physical processes: stable and unstable density stratification, rotation, and radiation.
