The NUMO Lab develops advanced computational methods for simulating complex geophysical systems, with a focus on ocean dynamics. We combine high-order numerical methods, adaptive mesh refinement (AMR), machine learning, and high-performance computing to resolve multiscale phenomena.
Research Highlights

High-order ocean modeling using Galerkin methods
Discontinuous Galerkin methods for accurate and flexible simulation of hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic ocean dynamics.

Machine learning for adaptive mesh refinement
Dynamic resolution of multiscale features such as eddies and fronts. Data-driven refinement strategies to improve efficiency and predictive capability.

Ice-ocean interaction modeling
High-order non-hydrostatic ocean modeling for high-resolution ice-ocean boundary
