Dora Chatterjee, a rising senior at the prestigious California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Pasadena, CA, has been awarded a summer undergraduate fellowship to conduct research on the area of Fluid Dynamics, specifically on the topic of undular bores–which are a type of atmospheric gravity waves. She will be working on, and applying, partial differential equations to formulate and verify a model that captures the nature of undular bores.

Dora, a 2022 graduate of the Coral Academy of Science in Las Vegas, is currently pursuing a major in Applied and Computational Mathematics (ACM) at Caltech. This summer, she will continue her academic journey under the mentorship of renowned faculty at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she will be relocating to conduct her research.

Dora’s family and friends are proud of her academic accolades and are thrilled about this exciting opportunity for her to pursue an advanced scientific research. They wish her continued success as she advances her studies and contributes to the field of fluid dynamics.
