Professor Gefen has more than 20 years of experience in developing and executing laboratory tests and modeling and simulation work. Together with […] Read More >

Research interests The research interests are related to structure of turbulent flows in a variety of applications: Boundary layers, turbulence with polymers and surfactants, particle-laden flows, scalar (heat, temperature, concentration) dispersion in turbulent flows, and others. We develop new experimental methods to measure velocity and velocity derivatives of turbulent flows in Eulerian and Lagrangian framework. Read More >

Research topic: Active sensing, sensory perception and cognition from the field through the lab and into the brain. I use the echolocating bat – a “champion” in active sensing to study these behaviors. Research methods: Behavior using highly developed technologies including ultrasonic microphone arrays, mini-cameras and mini-GPS devices. MRI to study brain anatomy and neural correlates of […] Read More >
