Theodore Drivas from the Stony Brook University, USA is appointed to be the SPP2410 Mercator Fellow, during his research stay at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics and Sciences in Leipzig in May 2024. Congratulations!
Theodore Drivas made fundamental contributions to the development of singularities in compressible flow and the corresponding analysis of dissipative anomalies in compressible fluid turbulence.
This Mercator Fellowship is associated with the SPP 2410 project “Convex integration and dissipative anomaly in compressible turbulence” under the project leadership of László Székelyhidi (MPI) and Jörg Schumacher (TU Ilmenau).
We are delighted that Theodore Drivas supported the project with his expertise and gave a talk on "The Feynman-Lagerstrom criterion for boundary layers".
About the SPP2410 Mercator Fellowship:
In the framework of the DFG-funded SPP-2410: Hyperbolic Balance Laws in Fluid Mechanics: Complexity, Scales, Randomness Priority Research Programme (CoScaRa) are Mercator-Fellowships awarded.
The Mercator Fellowships enables intensive collaboration between researchers from abroad and selected SPP 2410 partner projects. Although Mercator Fellows are on-site for only part of the run-time of the projects, it is the target to establish long-lasting contact with the projects’ team members once their research stay is over.
