Daniel M. Harris, Associate Professor of Engineering, has received the Graduate School Faculty Award for Advising and Mentoring, an honor that reflects not only his accomplishments as a researcher and teacher, but also his deep commitment to students.
Engineering scholars at Brown University uncovered unexpected dynamics in how organic particulates sink in the ocean, a process that plays a key role in marine nutrient cycling.
The early-career grant will help Daniel Harris establish a more complete and unified physical understanding of particles at interfaces, and share new experimental designs and methods that others can accessibly adapt for use in related research.
Experiments by a Brown-led research team investigated belly flop mechanics and found surprising insights about air-to-water impacts that could be useful for marine engineering applications.
