RESEARCH INTERESTS

  • Sea Ice Dynamics, Solid Transport, Two-Phase Flows, Computational Fluid Dynamics–
            In Solid Transport, constitutive relations are derived for a dry particulate material, including the effect of particle spin, particle shape, as well as the distribution of particle size. The most recent work is in determining the transition of quasi-static to rapidly sheared flows. In Two-Phase Flows, Eulerian averaging equations for turbulent two-phase flows have been formulated. These formulations identify the interaction between turbulence and particulate materials. Most recently, these results are applied to Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation of particle-laden flows in pipe erosion and pipe branching problems. In Sea Ice Dynamics, micromechanics has been introduced to derive the internal stress due to ice floe collisions. Physical based constitutive relations are obtained. This research is extended recently to study ice-wave interactions. Current studies have concentrated on the wave-induced collisions of ice floes and the resulting wave attenuation, as well as the drift of ice floes in a wave filed. Both the methodology and theoretical results developed in Granular Flows for Solid Transport have been introduced to model physical processes in polar regions. With remote sensing techniques, these studies are now extended to investigate large scale phenomena in the ocean/ice interface.

EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS

  • Highly interested in multi-level educational activities –
            Coached 8-9th graders in science competitions for two years. Mentored high school students for two years on research projects (one student earned Westinghouse Talent Search semi-finalist with her summer project on sea ice). Mentored over twenty undergraduate research students over the last ten years. Served as faculty advisor for Chi-Epsilon and Tau-Beta-Pi. Co-created an Honor Science course, Chaos and Coherence, for Clarkson University with two other faculty members: one from Physics and one from Finance department. Brought under and graduate students to each of the overseas visiting professor opportunities. Started an exchange undergraduate student program in Sweden for Clarkson University. Currently running the Research Experience for Undergraduate Students (REU) in China program with Prof. Hung Tao Shen. This program brings 15-16 students each year from all over US to China to study marine science and engineering problems. To-date, there have been 46 students all over the US participating. At the position as the Associate Director for the University Honors Program, the task is to integrate research into curriculum from the pre-freshman to senior years, as well as developing courses from the Honors Program to be offered to university-wide student bodies.
