See my website for more about me.
Garaud is an expert in Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics and to a lesser extent, Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, which she studies using both analytical methods and computational methods.
My main research interests at the moment are:
- Large-scale magnetohydrodynamics of the solar interior
- Modeling large-scale flows in stellar interior
- Modeling turbulent convection
- Understanding the properties of double-diffusive convection, with applications to astrophysics
- Modeling stratified shear flows in stars
- Modeling the dynamics of dust particles in proto-stellar disks
I teach a number of classes in Applied Mathematics from the introductory undergraduate level to the advanced graduate level:
- Precalculus: AM/MATH3
- Calculus: MATH11A/AM15A/AM15B
- Multivariate Calculus: AM30
- Mathematical modeling: AM170A
- Applied Mathematical Methods I: AM212A
- Applied Mathematical Methods II: AM212B
- Numerical Linear Algebra: AMS213A
- Dynamical Systems: AM114/AM214
- Advanced Fluid Mechanics: AM227
2019: Fellow of the American Physical Society (Division of Fluid Dynamics)
2010: NSF CAREER
2008: UCSC Excellence in teaching award.
