Martín Hoecker-Martinez Ph.D.

Associate Professor
Physics

Education

  • Ph.D., Oceanography, Oregon State University
  • M.S.,  Applied Physics, California Institute of Technology
  • B.S., Physics, Harvey Mudd College

Professional Background

Our group is interested in boundary layer flows and air-sea exchange of heat, momentum and dissolved gases. My students and I are building a rotating fluid dynamics laboratory here at Redlands to study and model geophysical flows. The group's research combines field observations with computer and scale models to better understand transport in the ocean and atmosphere.
