Welcome to Francois Blanchette's Home Page
Assistant Professor
I have begun working at UC Merced in the summer of 2006, as an Assistant Professor.
Previously, I was a researcher at the James Franck Institute where I work
primarily with Wendy Zhang and
her group .
During the year 2003-2004, I was part of the Mechanical Enginering
department at UCSB. My work there was focused on numerical simulations
of particle-laden gravity currents.
I mostly collaborated with Eckart Meiburg.
Before coming to UCSB, I was a graduate student in Applied Mathematics
at MIT from September 1999 to July 2003 where I studied Fluid
Dynamics under the supervision of
John Bush, mostly focusing on sedimentation.
You may find my CV here, as well as
my research statement .
Also, you may find my teaching
