Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Jordan Pitt. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Jordan Pitt is an Associate Dean of Indigenous Strategy Services and an applied mathematician at the University of Sydney. He completed his PhD at the Australian National University in 2019, focusing on developing methods to model inundation caused by tsunamis and storm surges. His current post-doctoral research at the University of Adelaide examines the interaction between ocean waves and sea ice, which influences the annual growth and melt of sea ice, a key driver of Earth’s climate. Alongside his research, Jordan is dedicated to increasing participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in STEM, advocating for greater recognition and respect for traditional knowledge and a commitment to uplifting communities through education and collaborative projects. His areas of interest include numerical methods to solve partial differential equations and mathematical modelling in fluid dynamics applied to tsunami modeling and ocean wave interactions with sea ice. He has previously convened a year-long mathematics course on scientific industrial modelling at the Australian National University and an applied mathematics course at the University of Adelaide. He has also co-supervised PhD students and been an independent member of the ACCESS-NRI board since 2023. Jordan has received multiple awards and is actively involved in initiatives aimed at promoting science and education among Indigenous communities.
