Pete Diamessis joined the faculty of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at Cornell University in January 2006. He received his undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Greece, in 1995. He worked for a year as a research assistant at NTUA, focusing on the development of a multifractal cascade model for fluid turbulence. From 1996 to 2001, he pursued graduate studies at the University of California, San Diego, where he conducted extensive coursework in fluid dynamics and physical oceanography, culminating in a Ph.D. thesis using direct numerical simulations of stratified homogeneous turbulence to understand ocean microstructure measurements. Following his Ph.D., he became a postdoctoral researcher in the fluid dynamics group at the University of Southern California, concentrating on the numerical investigation of stably stratified turbulent wakes and instabilities of internal solitary waves. His research interests include environmental fluid mechanics, direct numerical simulation, hydrodynamic instability theory, and computational engineering among others.
