Dennice Gayme, Carol Croft Linde Faculty Scholar, and assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, has been chosen by the National Science Foundation for its prestigious CAREER Award, which recognizes early stage scholars with high levels of promise and excellence.
Gayme studies large-scale networked and spatially distributed systems in applications such as power networks, wind farms, and wall-turbulence. Using this $500,000, five-year grant, she will create a new paradigm for modeling, analysis, and control of wall-bounded turbulent flows.
