Research summary
AI-generated

Ethan J. Kubatko works on computational methods for simulating water flow, including flooding, storm surge, and open-channel hydraulics. His research develops numerical solvers (such as discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods) and mesh-generation tools that allow computers to model coastal and river systems efficiently, including on GPU hardware for faster simulations. Much of the work focuses on building and sharing software tools for shallow-water and compound-flood modeling.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade with a peak around 2019 and 2021, a lull in 2022, and a recent resurgence in 2025-2026 driven largely by software-tool releases.
