“That thing’s got the shakes,” Earl said, nodding at a prototype drone hovering erratically in a cage.

Leif Ristroph is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at New York University's Courant Institute and the director of its Applied Mathematics Laboratory. His work sits at the intersection of experimental physics and mathematics, focusing on how fluids—like air and water—interact with structures, whether they are living creatures or inanimate objects. leif ristroph

Ristroph’s research often starts with seemingly simple or whimsical questions that lead to deep scientific insights. His lab is known for using "countertop" apparatuses to solve complex problems that historically required massive wind tunnels.
