Congratulations to Dr. Elizabeth Simons for successfully defending her thesis "Circulation in the Lau Basin and Havre Trough"
The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Institute promotes collaboration and research on Fluid Dynamics. GFDI also administers Florida State University's Ph.D.
The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Institute (GFDI) was created in 1967 as a multi-disciplinary Institute based in the College of Arts and Sciences of the Florida State University. Faculty associated with the institute stem from fields as diverse as Physics, Mathematics, Geology, Atmospheric Science, and Oceanography. degree in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics and maintains facilities for laboratory and computational research in Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics.

Associate Dr. Nick Moore featured in Forbes Magazine for his work on flexible wing design
See the paper here: http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/pof2/27/9/10.1063/1.4930235
Mathematics For Optimal Wing Design A new mathematical model shows that the most efficient moving wings have a spring joint along the leading edge; better drones and underwater robots may follow.
