I am currently developing models of atmospheric dynamics and radiative heating applicable to giant planets including Jupiter and Saturn, and have previously considered terrestrial planets such as Venus.
For my doctoral thesis I studied plasma turbulence in fusion devices.
My work combines theoretical with some data analysis, and numerical modelling ranging from large Fortran codes on high-performance computers to simple Python scripts.
Research interests
Atmospheric dynamics of Earth and other planets
Turbulence in geophysical fluids and plasmas
