Founder of Beautiful Turbulence,
An Apparel Business Featuring Real Turbulence Data
When I started my Master’s at the University of Puerto Rico - Mayaguez in 2010 and started learning about turbulence, I was immediately fascinated by the topic (still am)! During that time, I wanted to buy a turbulence t-shirt, so I spent a couple of weeks searching for turbulence shirts. To my surprise, I did not find what I was looking for. So I thought, why don't I make these t-shirts? And that was the start of Tony's Geeky Shirts ( now Beautiful Turbulence). I took some simulation data that I had from simulations I had run and made a cool t-shirt out of it. I printed the design and wore it proudly for many years.
I completed my master's degree and then pursued my PhD in 2012 at Johns Hopkins University in the field of fluid mechanics and turbulence, with a focus on its applications to wind energy. During that time, I learned more about turbulence and decided to launch the first online version of Tony's Geeky Shirts in 2016. During this time, I had learned about the Johns Hopkins University Turbulence Database and started using the turbulence data for my designs. Databases are an amazing tool for learning and studying turbulence.
My wife, Ramona, is also a scientist, and she has a great sense of design. Over the years, we worked on many products and designs and decided to expand Tony's Geeky Shirts, which then became Beautiful Turbulence. We are excited to have these designs and hope that you will also like them and will enjoy wearing them. These designs mean a lot to us, they represent our creative thinking that is part of many years of working in science.
