Flavia Barbosa

Flávia Barbosa is a visiting student from Portugal. She received her Master degree in Mechanical Engineering from the School of Engineering of University of Minho in 2015 and she is currently at her 2nd year of PhD. The focus of her research in MSEAS group is numerical simulation and uncertainty quantification. To stay focus and energetic, Flavia enjoys practicing sports in her free times. She is currently working on:
  • Convection from multiple jets over a complex moving surface
Her publications so far include:

Anantha Narayanan Suresh Babu

Anantha joined MSEAS in fall 2021 as an SM student in MechE & is a Homer A. Burnell MIT Presidential Fellow. His current research is on modeling the physics & dynamics of sea ice. Prior to joining MIT, Anantha received his Bachelor’s with Honours in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Madras in Chennai, India, where he worked on modeling the finite elasto-viscoplastic behavior of hydrogels and soft biological materials. He also spent a year working at the Boston Consulting Group. Apart from academia, he loves hiking, cricket, and badminton.









Aditya K. Saravanakumar

Aditya joined MSEAS in the fall of 2021, as he started his master’s of science program in Computational Science and Engineering (CSE SM). His research interests include finite element modelling, fluid dynamics and multi-physics coupling. Aditya has spent most of his life in the beautiful coastal city of Chennai, India, and he holds a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Mechanical Engineering from BITS Hyderabad, India. He is currently working on hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) methods for higher-order ocean modeling. Apart from being a researcher, Aditya is an avid football player, foodie and enjoys stand-up comedy.
