Biography

Luc Deike is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University and a member of the High Meadows Environmental Institute. His work focuses on fundamental fluid dynamics with an emphasis on non-linear multi-scale systems relevant to both environmental and industrial applications. His research addresses important problems in fundamental physics, including the dynamics of diverse phenomena such as ocean waves, floating ice sheets, and gas transfer at the surface of breaking ocean waves. He investigates spray generation dynamics in the atmosphere and develops strategies for oil spill mitigation. Deike designs and develops complementary laboratory and numerical experiments to propose simple physical models that describe significant processes in these areas. Currently, his primary focus includes breaking waves, bubble dynamics, and turbulence gas transfer, as well as bubble bursting and spray generation.
