Summary
Omer San is an Associate Professor of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Biomedical Engineering with over a decade of experience translating theoretical, computational, and statistical methods into practical models for complex fluid and multi-material flows. He has progressed from PhD research in multiscale geophysical flows to postdoctoral work on model reduction and national-security‑scale multi-material algorithms, and now leads research and teaching at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. His work blends high-fidelity numerical simulation, reduced-order modeling, and algorithm development—often sponsored by NSF and NNSA—bridging fundamental theory and computational implementation. Omer’s career reflects a steady academic trajectory from research internships and MS work in microfluidics and MEMS to faculty roles where he mentors students and directs interdisciplinary projects. He is particularly adept at turning complex physics into scalable software frameworks and validated predictive tools. Based in Knoxville but internationally trained, he brings both hands-on modeling expertise and a track record of securing competitive research funding.
