About me
I was born in Hong Kong, although I have spent the majority of my life in the UK (except for one year in Israel). My over-arching area of interest is fluid dynamics and rotating stratified turbulence, mostly focusing on the ocean, though I maintain an interest in problems relating to the atmosphere, stars, giant planets, as well as plasma turbulence. See RESEARCH and PUBLICATIONS for more specific details.
In case you are interested, my name in traditional Chinese is written 麥晉朗 (the middle character is not 俊 as many people like to comment on).
