Dr. Dmitri Netchaev is an Associate Professor at the University of Southern Mississippi (USM), based at the Stennis Space Center. He specializes in physical oceanography and numerical modeling, teaching advanced courses such as MAR 667: Waves and Tides, MAR 670: Coastal Phys. Oceanography, and MAR 675: Data Assimilation into Ocean Models. His research focuses on coastal dynamics, numerical methods, and hydrodynamic processes in curvilinear coordinate systems. Education: PhD in Physical Oceanography from the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology (1989) and MS from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (1983). He is fluent in English (Professional level) and Russian (Native). Recent research emphasizes ensemble-based numerical model linearization, wind and Loop Current impacts on sea level gradients in the Mississippi Bight, and tensor analysis of oceanographic differential operators. His work bridges theoretical advancements in mathematical physics with applied coastal modeling challenges. No scientific awards are explicitly listed in the profile. Teaching spans USM's Marine Science and Hydro programs, with courses tailored for graduate students in coastal processes and numerical methods.
