- Francis (Frank) Giraldo is an adjunct Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics at UC Santa Cruz. Frank is also a distinguished professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey California. Frank and his team work on building computational fluid dynamics solvers for use in atmosphere, ocean, and engineering applications. Frank is interested in developing scalable and accurate numerical methods for solving the shallow water equations and the compressible and incompressible Navier-Stokes equations.
