My research at the Environmental Fluid Mechanics lab has centered on the transport of water vapor, CO2, and temperature in natural and urban environments. My previous projects focused on improving flux quantification, including novel methods to partition total ecosystem fluxes of CO2 and water vapor into ground and plant contributions, as well…

Paul is a postdoctoral fellow with the High Meadows Environmental Institute at Princeton University. He received his PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Stanford University in 2023, where he studied turbulent mixing in density stratified environments using numerical simulations to improve how these processes are incorporated in…

I am a Ph.D. candidate enrolled in the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at Princeton University, conducting research at the Lab for Environmental Fluids and Thermodynamics (LEFT). Although my undergraduate studies at Rutgers University were in meteorology, my interests have pivoted from traditional operational forecasting…

Jing Wang is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Princeton University. During her undergraduate studies, she majored in Hydraulic Engineering, with a primary focus on fluid dynamics and statistical analysis for cyclones.
