Congrats to my research students Manasvi, Joe, and Alberto for giving fantastic poster presentations at @tcnj.bsky.social’s 2025 Celebration of Student Achievement!

Manasvi presenting her poster on investigating fish schooling patterns using computational fluid dynamics!

Joe and Alberto presenting their poster on polynomial chaos expansions for surrogate models and global sensitivity analysis!

Here’s still from the sim!

Frame a nerdy CFD Valentine’s simulation involving jellyfish, fish, tomopterids, hearts, and letters(spelling TCNJ Math & Stat) swirling round n’ round!

Sad that we’re at the end of #SICB2025 but I always leave knowing *SO MUCH* more than when I arrived! Thanks to all for the great nerdy chats and letting me tell you all about Tomopteris (and polychaete) locomotion!

Each year I make a nerdy fluid dynamics Valentine for my students and TCNJ. Enjoy the snapshot below and check out the full video (and previous years) here: rb.gy/4ql3a1

A snapshot from this year's nerdy, computational fluid dynamics Valentine!

Enjoy this simulation snapshot of 82 fish and 25 jellyfish!
