Summary
Matthew Farthing is a computational modeler with 16 years of experience applying scientific computing (Python, C++) and advanced numerical methods to environmental flow and transport problems, including multiphase flow in porous media and free-surface dynamics. He combines applied research and government practice as a Senior Research Scientist with the US Army and a long-serving Research Hydraulic Engineer at the US Army Corps of Engineers, while contributing to NATO science efforts as a member of MSG-181. An adjunct faculty and former research professor at UNC Chapel Hill, he translates cutting-edge PDE modeling into practical hydrodynamic solutions and field-relevant guidance. Trained with a Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences and Engineering and a magna cum laude Sc.B. in Mathematics from Brown, he brings rigorous theory, numerical implementation, and operational experience to complex environmental challenges.
