I joined MSEAS in the fall of 2020, pursuing a Masters in Ocean Engineering (SMOE). I am currently an active duty officer in the US Coast Guard, specializing in engineering. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from the US Coast Guard Academy in Connecticut, where I focused on coastal engineering and stormwater systems. Before MIT I served two tours in Honolulu, HI, as a Naval Engineer-in-Training on Coast Guard ships that patrolled the Pacific Ocean from the Galapagos to the Arctic Circle. I love the ocean and enjoy surfing, free diving, sailing, and paddleboarding.
Zach is a graduate student in the MIT-WHOI Joint Program for Applied Ocean Science and Engineering. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT in June 2018. With MSEAS, Zach’s research focused on the intersection of numerical ocean modeling and the guidance of autonomous vehicles. Aside from research, Zach enjoys staying active by cycling, skiing, and playing basketball. As an undergraduate, he played varsity football for four years as a linebacker and defensive back.
Aaron joined MSEAS in the fall of 2019, starting his masters in Computational Science & Engineering (CSE) with plans to pursue a PhD in MechE-CSE. Broadly, his interests span stochastic differential equations and signal processing. He has begun focusing on numerical solutions to the acoustic wave equation in the presence of uncertainty in addition to Bayesian inference for acoustic inverse problems (see DEEP-AI). Furthermore, he works on developing and improving reduced-order modeling techniques by incorporating differential geometry for applications in uncertainty quantification. Before coming to MIT, Aaron graduated with a Bachelor of Science from Brown University, double concentrating in applied mathematics and engineering, where he researched terahertz optics phenomena. Outside of academia, he enjoys running, water skiing, hiking, and low-level soccer.
Aditya completed his Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering at R.V. College of Engineering, Bangalore (2017) before moving to Purdue University to pursue his M.S in the same field. Upon graduating from Purdue in 2019, he joined MIT to pursue his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering. His previous work at Purdue focused on the development of numerical tools for investigating the self-similar propagation of low-Reynolds number gravity currents for geophysical applications. Presently his research interests lie in the areas of numerical methods and high-performance computing. Beyond research, Aditya enjoys reading, trekking, cycling, and would like to get involved in activities such as sailing, kayaking, and rowing.
