Joined EFD Lab: January 2018
Research Interests: Interested in the physics behind anything that involves modeling transport phenomena for environmental studies using CFD. Examples include smoke transport, emergency chemical release, particle growth, water droplet formation, atmospheric chemistry, and combustion. Currently learning about multiphase transport through porous media for use in a fuel moisture model for wildfires.

Environmental Fluid Dynamics Lab
Understanding Flows in the World Around Us
The work done at the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Laboratory at
the University of Utah attempts to further the understanding of
transport phoenomena in the natural world. To this end, the laboratory
employs a variety of state of the art scientific investigation
techniques including: large scale field measurements (both Urban and
Natural Environment), numerical modeling and simulation, and laboratory scale measurements.
The laboratory is situated in beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah in the
foothills of the Wasatch mountains.
