ProfessorBernoff

A math professor who does fluid dynamics stuff. Along with ProfessorSu, he runs the PutnamSeminar? (aka PizzaForCredit?) Tuesday nights every fall semester. He also organizes its counterpart, the spring ProblemSolvingSeminar? (aka BastardSonOfPutnam?, or NoPizzaForCredit?).

Legend has it that, as an undergraduate at MIT, he got a DoubleMajor by accident.
