Boris Galperin

Boris Galperin is an associate professor in the College of Marine Science at the University of South Florida, where he has received two Outstanding Research Achievement Awards. He discovered a deep similarity between zonal jets in oceans and on giant planets, has been conducting laboratory investigations emulating geophysical and planetary flows, and is a co-developer of an analytical theory of anisotropic turbulence that explained observed spectra up to numerical coefficients.
