Alexander Andriatis

Alexander Andriatis is a Postdoctoral Associate at MIT's Department of Mechanical Engineering, focusing on physical oceanography and numerical methods. His work examines Langmuir turbulence's role in ocean mixing and improves climate model accuracy through high-resolution simulations.

Research interests include near-inertial wave generation, mixed-layer turbulence observations, and advanced numerical techniques using MITgcm. He develops computational models for shallow water equations and validates them against observational data.

Publications include a 2024 study on Langmuir Circulations' onset and growth, published in the Journal of Physical Oceanography. His GitHub repository hosts code for numerical wave projects, demonstrating expertise in MATLAB implementations of finite difference methods and conservation laws.
