Jun Zhang: Associate Professor, works on various fluid problems that are motivated from biology or geophysics. He also works on problems that are related to pattern formation, friction and biolocomotion. He is currently the co-director of the Applied Mathematics Laboratory (AML) at the Courant Institute

Alumni:

Sunny Jung: Postdoctoral Fellow (2005-2007), who studies the dynamics of free boundaries in unsteady fluids, and the swimming of C. elegans.

Jin-Qiang Zhong: Graduate student (2003-2006), who studies the dynamics of free boundaries subject to thermal convective fluids, and the implication in geophysics (continental drift). He got his B.S. degree from Fudan University.

Lionel Rosellini:visiting research fellow (2005), working on flapping flight.
email: lionel.rosellini {at} polytechnique.org
Nicolas Vandenberghe: Postdoct fellow (2002-2004), working in the Applied Math lab at Courant, who works on the dynamics of flags, flapping of wings that leads to forward flight.
email: vandenbe {at} cims.nyu.edu
Adam R. Cone: Undergraduate student (2003-2004) who works on thin jets on a 2D fluid substrate, he is now doing his Ph.D at UCLA.
email: arc239 {at} nyu.edu
Jonathan Kamler: A high school student from Queens at the time when he worked in the lab (2002). He tried to create a siphon of soap film that is open to the atmosphere. Now he's at Harvard studying physics.
Julien Psaute: Undergraduate student (2003) from Ecole Polytechnique in Paris. He continued with the effort in building a fluid siphon and he made it work reliably.
