Personal profile
Research interests
My research interests are in geophysical fluid mechanics, with a particular focus on shear- and buoyancy-driven turbulent flow in the atmospheric boundary layer. I investigate these processes through combined observational and model-driven methodologies. At present, I am examining scale-aware turbulence parameterizations for atmospheric boundary layer processes.
