Research |
My broad research interests are fluid dynamics, atmospheric science, climate dynamics, extreme weather events, geophysical and astrophysical fluid dynamics, and planetary science. I am particularly interested in developing simplified mathematical and numerical models, which I use along with high-resolution simulations, machine learning, observations, and laboratory data, to understand complex geophysical, environmental, and astrophysical flows. |
