Biography

Craig Epifanio is an Associate Professor at Texas A&M University College of Arts and Sciences, specializing in atmospheric science with a focus on mesoscale atmospheric phenomena and fluid dynamics. His research emphasizes topographically forced circulations and their associated turbulent behaviors, particularly in mountainous regions where turbulence poses hazards to aircraft. Epifanio's current research interests include the analysis of topographic waves generated by mountain ranges and the dynamics of severe storm systems, especially the variations between tornadic and non-tornadic supercells, which he investigates using advanced numerical simulations and vorticity analysis. His work involves computational challenges, including the use of Newton-Krylov solvers and time-splitting schemes for compressible flow simulations.
