An Interview with Clint Dawson

 

Clint Dawson, a professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics and the director of the Computational Hydraulics Group at the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences (ICES), helps develop the complex mathematical systems involved in flood modeling. Professor Dawson is working with the SSPEED Center to investigate the use of petascale computing to significantly advance the state-of-the-art in storm surge simulation, to accurately model flows at multiple, interacting scales at resolution never before attempted and to demonstrate that results from these simulations can be delivered in real-time to emergency managers.
