Prabir,Daripa,Professor,"My research interests are, broadly speaking, applied and computational science with a goal towards solving pressing problems of today. We solve and investigate applied problems and application driven basic problems using a plethora of theoretical and numerical tools. We also explore the possibility of useful changes in various applied fields by developing new as well as by making use of existing algorithms, applicable knowledge and software.
Specific research interests are in fluid mechanics of simple and complex fluids, interface problems, numerical methods, scientific computing, fast algorithms, inverse problems, and many other classical areas of applied mathematics. Such problems arise in host of important areas such as petroleum engineering, health and biological sciences, earth and environmental sciences, space exploration, neuroscience and cognitive science, and so on. With over three decades of experience in applied, engineering and computational mathematics, we are ready to help solve pressing problems of tomorrow in collaboration with colleagues, undergraduate and graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars. In application areas, we are exploring ways to develop efficient and fast methods for multiphase flows, in particular porous media flows that arise in the context of chemical enhanced oil recovery. We are also interested in high Reynolds number multi-phase flows. We are working on the development, implementation and application of analysis based fast boundary integral type methods. Another area of current interest is in control of instabilities in fluid flows such as in mixing, viscous fingering and channeling. We are also interested in the development of probabilistic methods and techniques including use of data driven and Bayesian scientific computing, reduced order modeling, uncertainty quantification, deep learning and other modern numerical methods.",Faculty Affiliate||Professor,Mathematics||Energy Institute,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n146ac380
Hongbin,Zhan,Holder of Endowed Dudley J. Hughes '51 Chair in Geology and Geophysics,"My teaching and research interests are primarily in fundamental processes of groundwater hydrology, flow and transport in geological formations, and their applications in water resources management and geological, environmental, and petroleum engineering. I am recently interested in unconventional subsurface flow and transport processes, with the studied media changing from permeable porous and fractured ones to much less permeable ones such as clay and shale, and the studied pore sizes also changing from millimeters to micro-meters or even nano-meters. I am interested in the following research:
1. Flow and solute transport in highly deformable low-permeability porous media
2. Interaction of aquifer with connected and disconnected rivers
3. Vapor flow and transport in the subsurface
4. Non-Darcian flow and its impact on anomalous transport
5. Coupled unsaturated-saturated flow and transport problems
6. Radial dispersion and push-and-pull tests
7. Flow and transport in sloping aquifers
8. Coupled aquifer-conduit-fracture flow and transport
9. Flow and transport in fracture-matrix systems
10. Vadose zone infiltration well",Faculty Affiliate||Endowed Ray C. Fish Professor||Holder of Endowed Dudley J. Hughes Chair in Geology and Geophysics,Geology and Geophysics||Energy Institute||College of Geosciences,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n31c29796

John,Whitcomb,Professor,"Dr. Whitcomb is actively involved in damage mechanics of composite materials. The broad goal is to develop analytical models to explain the response of composites to static and fatigue loads. He is also involved in predicting non-mechanical behaviors, such as moisture diffusion and permeability to cryogenic fuels. Ultimately, the goal is to predict the response of potential composite structures without the need for extensive experimental effort.

Junuthula,Reddy,Distinguished Professor and O'Donnell Foundation Chair IV,"The current research of Dr. Reddy and his group deals with refined shell theories and associated robust shell finite elements which are free of all types of locking, and nonlocal beam and plate theories using the ideas of Eringen, Mindlin, Koiter, and others (in collaboration with colleagues from China, Finland, France, India, Singapore, Spain). He and his group has developed a thermodynamically based strain gradient elasticity theory that contains Mindlin's model as a special case. They also conceived a transformative non-parametric network based methodology to study damage and fracture in solids (GraFEA), which yields mesh independent results for fracture and its propagation and it does not require user input about the possible fracture initiation and propagation. His works on nonlocal mechanics ideas and their incorporation into structural theories to predict the bending, buckling, and vibration response (the main idea is to embed micropolarity, which brings an additional layer of kinematics through the micro-rotation degrees of freedom within a continuum model to account for the microstructural effects during deformation to study architected materials and structures) and graph-based finite elements to predict damage and fracture are receiving attention of fellow researchers around the world. His shear deformation plate and shell theories and their finite element models and the penalty finite element models of non-Newtonian fluids have been implemented into commercial finite element computer programs like ABAQUS, NISA, and HyperXtrude.",Regents Professor||Distinguished Professor||Faculty Affiliate,The Texas A&M University System||Mechanical Engineering||Energy Institute,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/nf2ea2ce4
