​Professor Truscott's current research interests are in fluid dynamics, novel imaging and experimental methods. By merging different areas of research, he works on problems such as three-dimensional flow-field dynamics of rising and falling objects in water, acceleration induced cavitation, the transport of water through desert plants and the collective behavior of pelotons and fish. Tadd received his B.S in mechanical engineering from the University of Utah, and then attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology for his Ph.D.09' in Ocean and Mechanical Engineering. He is currently an associate professor at Utah State University.
