Gregory L. Eyink

Gregory L. Eyink is a Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics & Statistics at Johns Hopkins University, with joint appointments in Physics & Astronomy, Mathematics, and Mechanical Engineering. His research focuses on mathematical physics, fluid mechanics, turbulence, and related fields. Eyink earned his bachelor's in Mathematics and Philosophy from Ohio State University (1981) and a PhD in Physics (1987), followed by postdoctoral work at Rutgers and visiting roles at institutions like the University of Illinois. He joined JHU in 2003.

• Research Interests: Turbulence theory, Onsager conjecture, fluid dynamics, plasma physics, geophysics, and climate modeling.
• Notable Contributions: Proof of the Onsager conjecture (1994), studies on spontaneous stochasticity, and work on flux-freezing violations in MHD turbulence.

His awards include the 2023 Outstanding Referee Award from Physical Review and fellowships from the American Physical Society and Institute of Physics. Eyink leads research on turbulence databases (JHTDB) and teaches advanced courses on turbulence theory and numerical analysis.
