Frank Giraldo is a Distinguished Professor of Applied Mathematics at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) and an Adjunct Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He leads the Scientific Computing group at NPS, focusing on numerical methods for partial differential equations (PDEs), particularly in atmospheric and oceanic systems. His research emphasizes discontinuous and continuous Galerkin methods, high-performance computing (HPC), and large-eddy simulations (LES) for modeling geophysical flows. Education: PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Virginia (1994), BSE from Princeton University (1987). Research Interests: Nonhydrostatic atmospheric modeling (NUMA), ocean modeling (NUMO), LES of hurricanes and fluid dynamics, scalable algorithms for supercomputers (e.g., GPU acceleration), and implicit-explicit time-integration methods. His work integrates HPC with climate science and has been applied to the U.S. Navy's NEPTUNE system. Awards: Menneken Award (2025), NPS Distinguished Professor (2020), Carl E. Menneken Award (2007), Alan Berman Research Prize (2001). Leadership: Chair of NPS Applied Mathematics Department (2021–2025), member of the U.S. Interagency Council for Advancing Meteorological Services (ICAMS), and scientific advisor to international programs like the German Research Foundation's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics initiative. Labs/Teams: Principal developer of the NUMA atmospheric model and NUMO ocean model. Collaborates with institutions like NJIT, Hampton University, and Lawrence Livermore National Lab on projects funded by ONR, DARPA, and NSF.
