The focus of my research program is to improve understanding of the air-water interface and many of the physical processes involving transport across it. This field combines the study of the well organized wave motions at the interface with the highly chaotic turbulent boundary layers on either side separated by thin boundary layers of relative calm imposed by the dissipative effects of viscosity. Various research programs additionally involve the science of electromagnetic propagation, acoustic propagation, surface chemistry, and the mathematics of modeling geophysical flows.
