We analyze the Prandtl number (Pr) dependence of spectra and fluxes of kinetic energy, as
well as the energy injection rates and dissipation rates, of turbulent thermal convection using …

Understanding the behavior of the kinetic energy spectrum and flux in two-dimensional (2D)
turbulent thermal convection remains a challenge. In this paper, using high-resolution direct …

This dissertation describes my work developing and using SFgen: a fast, MPI-parallel
method for measuring two-point statistics in simulation data produced by the AMR code …

In this dissertation, the design and fabrication of deep-ultraviolet photodetectors were
investigated based on gallium oxide and its alloys, through the heterogeneous integration …

The generation of atmospheric turbulence random phase screens using multi-harmonic
power spectrum inversion and Zernike polynomial fitting methods often results in significant …
