Reed Ogrosky, Ph.D.
Associate Professor
Director of Graduate Studies
Grace E. Harris Hall, 1015 Floyd Ave., room 4168 and 4182
Education
- Ph.D. in Mathematics, University of North Carolina
Dissertation: “Modeling liquid film flow inside a vertical tube”
Advisers: Prof. Roberto Camassa and Prof. Greg Forest - B.S. in Mathematics and Economics, Duke University
Research Interests
Ogrosky's research interests lie in the area of applied mathematics, primarily in the development and study of mathematical models for nonlinear phenomena in fluid dynamics and atmospheric science. He uses a combination of analytical and numerical methods to study both deterministic and stochastic models. He also uses a variety of statistical, experimental, and data analysis techniques to compare model results with observations and experiments.
