Nikolas Olson Aksamit


Job description

My research focuses on implementing innovations in applied mathematics and developing novel measurements techniques to better understand coherent structures relevant for cryosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere coupling. Current projects involve field studies of physical snow processes, fluid dynamics for snow science applications, and developing tools of nonlinear dynamical systems.
