Devin completed his Master's Thesis (titled Numerical Simulations and Global Stability of Viscous Confined and Semi-Confined Wakes) under Professor Keiko Nomura at the University of California, San Diego. He investigated the stability properties of a Laminar 2D Wake in both an unconfined, semi-confined, and confined configuration using Nek5000, an Open-Source Direct Numerical Simulation CFD software to solve the nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations.
