Jonathan Massey
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioRecently, I completed my PhD at the University of Southampton, where my research focused on the role of surface texture in the hydrodynamics of aquatic locomotion. This project advanced our understanding of the multiscale interactions involved, addressing whether fish scales might actually enhance swimming efficiency.
I have joined Prof. McKeon's group as part of the SAPPHiRe project (Shear stress And Propagating Pressure at High Reynolds). This multi-facility (Stanford, Princeton, and Melbourne) experimental campaign focuses on measurements of wall-pressure and shear-stress fluctuations in high Reynolds number (Re) boundary layers, advancing our understanding of noise and drag in high-Re settings. My role in the project involves modelling these wall quantities using resolvent analysis. Previous models are based on extrapolations from low-Re physics, so I will incorporate new techniques to improve upon these in parallel with the experimental campaign. -

Cheng Mei
Postdoctoral Scholar, Geophysics
BioMy research focuses on solid earth geophysics, particularly earthquake physics, induced seismicity, and rock mechanics. I employ a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating theoretical, numerical, and experimental models, to uncover the patterns, mechanisms, and impacts of natural earthquakes and induced seismicity in enhanced geothermal systems and other subsurface engineering systems. I am developing a macroscopic framework that incorporates multiple important controls, such as velocity, temperature, normal stress, fluid diffusion, and surface roughness. I believe this work would contribute significantly to understanding and mitigating seismic risks.
