| Mohamed Iskandarani |
Research Associate Professor in the Division of Meteorology and Physical Oceanography |
| Biography |
Dr. Iskandarani holds an M.S. (1987) and a Ph.D. (1991) in Civil Engineering from Cornell University, and an undergraduate degree from the American University of Beirut (1984). He spent the years 1991-2000 at Rutgers University working on the development of a spectral element ocean model. He joined the faculty of the University of Miami in September 2000. |
| Research Interests |
My main interest is in the development, application, and adaption of numerical methods for the simulation of oceanic flows. Particular areas include: the application of spectral element methods, advection schemes in structured and unstructured grids, coupling of offshore and basin-scale models, and parallel computing. |
