Dr. Gadgil is a Senior Scientist, and Director for the Division. He has a Ph.D. in physics from University of California, Berkeley. His expertise ranges from computational fluid dynamics of indoor air and pollutant flows, simulation of entry and transport of indoor radon, building energy efficiency, and methods to treat drinking water to make it potable. He has more than 80 refereed archival journal papers, 120 conference papers, and several patents. He holds concurrent appointment on the UC Berkeley Campus as Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
Areas of expertise:
- Computational Fluid Dynamics of indoor air and pollutant transport
- Simulation methods for complex non-linear systems
- Energy efficiency in buildings
