Peter Kramer Mathematics Dept 998-3212 NSF postdoc/Courant Instructor (scientific research sponsor is Charlie Peskin) informally auditing My undergraduate degree is in physics, and my graduate degree is in applied and computational mathematics. I wrote my Ph. D. dissertation on turbulent diffusion under Andy Majda at Princeton. I am now working with Charlie on incorporating thermal fluctuations into his immersed boundary method. I have a reasonable amount of computing experience, though I have been more theoretically than computationally I am now working with Charlie on incorporating thermal fluctuations into his immersed boundary method. I have a reasonable amount of computing experience, though I have been more theoretically than computationally inclined so far. I am trying to learn more about microphysiology and about computational techniques for handling fluid-particle systems, and this is why I am attending your course. My general interest is in statistical fluid mechanics, and I am striving to develop the capacity to do interdisciplinary research in both microphysiology and atmosphere-ocean dynamics.
