معرفی
Jason Olsthoorn is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Queen's University, affiliated with the Smith Engineering School. His research focuses on mixing and transport processes in environmental fluid dynamics, combining mathematical theory with numerical and laboratory experimentation. He holds a PhD from the University of Cambridge (2017), a Master of Mathematics from the University of Waterloo (2013), and a Bachelor's in Mathematical Physics from Waterloo (2012).
Key research interests include stratified mixing, internal waves, vortex dynamics, and their applications in limnology, coastal oceanography, and climate systems. Notable projects include studies on vortex-ring-induced mixing, salt-fingering in ice-covered lakes, and sediment transport mechanisms. His work bridges fluid mechanics, applied mathematics, and environmental engineering, with contributions to understanding turbulent processes in natural and engineered systems.
Publications highlight investigations into Holmboe instabilities, boundary layer dynamics beneath internal waves, and the Cooling Box Problem. He has explored the role of stratified shear instabilities in carbon sequestration and sedimentation, advancing theoretical and experimental frameworks for environmental fluid mechanics.
