Juan Mario Restrepo is an American mathematician recognized for his contributions to ocean dynamics, data assimilation, and computational statistical mechanics. In ocean dynamics Restrepo is best known for his work in Wave–current interaction.[1] He pioneered the use of stochastic processes to capture wave breaking dissipation,[2] provided fundamental understanding of transient wave transport[3] and predicted the phenomenon of 'sticky waters' [4] in nearshore waters. He is the son of the Colombian artist Pedro Restrepo

Career[edit]

Juan M. Restrepo[5] is the Section Head of the Mathematics in Computation Section at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He has served as vice chair of Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Geosciences Section, chair of the American Physical Society Focus Group on Climate, President of the Nonlinear Geophysics Section at American Geophysical Union, and many committee assignments in SIAM. He is an associate editor at the International Journal of Uncertainty Quantification, Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, and Foundations of Data Sciences. He is also Joint Faculty Professor in the Mathematics Department at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

Recognition[edit]

Restrepo's awards include the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), Geosciences Career Prize 2017, and a Department of Energy Young Investigator Award, 2003. He is a fellow of SIAM, and a fellow of the American Physical Society.
