Research overview

I am generally interested in fluid dynamics and rotating stratified dynamics, motivated by geophysical and astrophysical systems (mostly focusing on the ocean). I employ a variety of computational and mathematical methods to tackle associated problems. Areas I have worked on and/or are particularly interested in are:

• Wave/eddy-mean flow interactions (global ocean circulation, eddy parameterisation)
• Ocean modelling (General Circulation Model and/or simplified models)
• Application of inverse methods
• Fluid instabilities (shear instabilities in particular)
• Tracer mixing/stirring

Numerical models play a very large role in my research though I am relatively agnostic about which models to use (the science normally suggests one over the other). I go from bespoke small-scale models (largely in MATLAB and Python) to global circulation models (NEMO and MITgcm). The animation below is a sample generated from NEMO (UNAGI, 10km resolution, beta plane channel).
