Matthew A. Carper

Research Assistant / Ph.D. Candidate

    M.S., Mechanics, University of Minnesota, 2001
    B.S., Engineering Science and Mechanics, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1998

Research Interests:

My main research efforts are devoted to the parameterization of land-atmosphere interactions, determining the role of coherent structures in the subgrid-scale modeling, developing experimental methods to study boundary layer turbulence. I am also interested in the effects of topography and weather on the efficiency of wind energy. See my personal webpage.
