Prof. Chini has worked as a visiting researcher in the Remote Sensing-Hydrodynamics Division at the Naval Research Laboratory (Washington, D.C.) and in the Theoretical Mechanics Division of the School of Mathematical Sciences at Nottingham University (Nottingham, U.K.).

Prof. Chini teaches undergraduate courses in Fluid Dynamics (ME 608), and Thermodynamics (ME 503) along with several advanced fluid dynamics courses, including Waves in Fluids (ME 712/812) and Viscous Flow (ME 909).

Research Areas

Prof. Chini's research interests are in the allied fields of fluid dynamics and applied mathematics. His research involves mathematical modeling of geophysical and biological flows. The existence and stability of coherent features (e.g. nonlinear waves, vortices, and boundary layers) in such flows are of particular interest. Using hybrid analytical-numerical techniques (e.g. asymptotic and spectral methods), he aims to develop simplified models of complex fluid-mechanical systems; these models are used for identifying key physical processes and for purposes of prediction, design, and control.
