Academic Achievements
- Published numerous papers, including: 'The instability of precessing flow', 'Tidal excitation of hydromagnetic waves and their damping in the Earth', 'Secondary instabilities in rapidly rotating flows: inertial wave breakdown', 'Upper bounds on general dissipation functionals in turbulent shear flows: revisiting the `efficiency' functional', and more.
Research Experience
- Works at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) at the University of Cambridge; Lectured at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution GFD summer school on 'Shear Turbulence: Onset and Structure'; Delivered lectures at CISM-ECCOMAS Summer school on 'Coherent Structures in Unsteady Flows: Mathematical and Computational Methods'.
Background
- Research interests include: Navier-Stokes equations (nonlinear dynamics, transition and turbulence), Geophysical and astrophysical fluid mechanics (e.g. convecting and stably-stratified flows, tidal, precessional and librational motion of planetary interiors and subsurface oceans, accretion disks), Viscoelastic flows (elasto-inertial and elastic turbulence), Optimization in fluid mechanics.
Miscellany
- Interested in supervising PhD students, applicants must apply to DAMTP.
