Dr. Gregory Eyink

Biography

Gregory Eyink is a professor of applied mathematics and statistics at the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering. His research primarily focuses on turbulence phenomena, fluid mechanics, and related fields such as dynamical systems and mathematical physics. Eyink has made significant contributions to the understanding of turbulence in fluids and plasmas. His pivotal work includes a published proof of the fluid singularities claim made by Lars Onsager, leading to the modern formulation known as the ''Onsager conjecture''. He has been addressing the phenomenon of turbulence through a series of publications, including analysis on incompressible fluids and relativistic fluids. Eyink has studied dynamic phenomena related to solar flares and has worked on understanding the behavior of turbulent plasma dynamics. He has received recognition as a Fellow of the American Physical Society and serves on the advisory board as editor-in-chief for the Journal of Turbulence. Eyink earned his bachelor's degree in mathematics and philosophy from Ohio State University and completed a Ph.D. in physics at OSU. He has held prestigious academic positions at several institutions, contributing to both research and education in mathematics and physics.
