Research interests

My research is on fluid dynamics with applications to geoscience. At the moment, I am working on Rayleigh–Bénard convection at high Rayleigh number which will eventually lead to studies of the dynamo instability of the Earth's core. My approach to study these systems spans from theoretical methods to statistical analysis of large data sets from state-of-the-art numerical simulations performed on supercomputers.
