Iris and Howard Critchell Assistant Professor
Mathematics
Harvey Mudd College
I am an Assistant Professor in the Mathematics Department at Harvey Mudd College. In 2005, Harvey Mudd College's mathematics department was awarded the first AMS Award for an Exemplary Program.
My research focuses on applications of mathematical fluid dynamics to biological and industrial problems. Current projects include
- the motion of surfactants on thin liquid films
- algorithms for coordination of remotely operated robots in an aquatic testbed
- the hydrodynamic origin of whale flukeprints.
The image in the banner at the top was created with a thin layer of paint sandwiched in and then allowed to spread on paper. The area shown is about 0.25 cm tall.
