Michael Christopher Wendl is a mathematician and biomedical engineer who has worked on DNA sequencing theory,[3] covering and matching problems in probability, theoretical fluid mechanics, and co-wrote Phred.[4] He was a scientist on the Human Genome Project and has done bioinformatics and biostatistics work in cancer. Wendl is of ethnic German heritage and is the son of the aerospace engineer Michael J. Wendl.[5]

The authors comment directly on Wendl's solution appearing so long after the classical problem discussed by Stokes in 1845: "It is also a bit astonishing that the exact analytical solution for the azimuthal component of the Taylor–Couette flow profile with boundary conditions on cylinder caps was obtained just recently in the work of Wendl (1999). His results expose the strong influence of caps on flow profiles."
