The Team

Principal Investigator

Francesco Paparella

Associate Professor of Mathematics

Francesco Paparella is interested in developing and studying mathematical models for geophysical fluids and Earth-systems processes. His main focus has been on convection in fluids with one or two buoyancy-changing scalars. But he also works on vortex dynamics, time series analysis, granular flows and ecological and population dynamics modeling.
