Sean Moran

Hometown: Cheyenne, Wy

Undergraduate: Gonzaga University

Program: MS (Graduated May 2012)

Current Position: Engineer - TD Williamson

Research Interests: Environmental Fluid Dynamics (experimental and computational) with a focus on momentum transport, particle (PM₁₀ and PM_2.5) transport and deposition, atmospheric turbulence, turbulent mixing and deposition of scalars with variable atmospheric stability, wind tunnel and field testing of turbulence within vegetative canopies (porous medium), grid-generated isotropic turbulence, sonic anemometry, and hot-wire anemometry. Additional research interests include Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Large-Eddy Simulation (LES).
