NUMO Lab – Numerical Modeling Lab

High-order methods, adaptive simulation, and data-driven modeling for ocean and geophysical flows.

The Numerical Modeling Lab (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
