Juan Mario Restrepo is an American mathematician recognized for his contributions to ocean dynamics, data assimilation, and computational statistical mechanics. In ocean dynamics Restrepo is best known for his work in wave–current interaction.[2] He was first to introduce the use of stochastic processes to capture wave breaking dissipation,[3] provided fundamental understanding of transient wave transport[4] and predicted the phenomenon of 'sticky waters' [5] in nearshore waters. He is the son of the Colombian artist Pedro Restrepo
