Role: Teaching Assistant

Instructor

Professor Heidi Nepf

Class Description

Introduces mass transport in environmental flows, with emphasis on river and lake systems. Covers derivation and solutions to the differential form of mass conservation equations. Topics include molecular and turbulent diffusion, boundary layers, dissolution, bed-water exchange, air-water exchange, and particle transport. Meets with 1.061A first half of term. Students taking graduate version complete additional assignments.

Experience

• Delivered two lectures on diffusion and random walk modeling
• Held weekly office hours (two per week) to provide support on problem sets and lecture material
• Designed and graded a problem set on turbulent diffusion
• Developed and taught an undergraduate laboratory module on particle advection and diffusion
