Stefan P. Domino

Bio

Dr. Stefan Domino’s research interest rests within low-Mach fluid mechanics methods development for marine ethology-based systems that drive the coupling of mass, momentum, species and energy transport. His core research resides within the intersection of physics elucidation, numerical methods research, V&V techniques exploration, and high performance computing and coding methods for turbulent flow applications. Through his ICME Adjunct Professor appointment, Stefan supports the teaching of Computational Methods in Fluid Mechanics, is a former Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories, and is the CEO of the 501(c)(3) Computational Marine Ethology Research Institute, https://www.comeri.org
