Research Activities and Interests
- Wrote original 3D Numerical Model of the Northern Bering Sea as an undergraduate senior thesis at the University of Liège, part of the NSF ISHTAR Program. An overview of the model is provided in Chapter 5 of the book Physical Oceanography of the Frontal Zones in Sub-Arctic Seas
- Wrote first Finite Element solid mechanics code and first Finite difference Compressible flow code to run on the Connection Machine CM-2
- On the three-dimensional instability of strained vortices
- Triad Interactions in Homogeneous Turbulence and in Rotating Flows
- Self-Sustaining Process and Exact Coherent States in shear flows
- Heat Transport by Coherent Rayleigh-Bénard convection [arxiv.org/abs/1502.02292 ]
- Spectral Integration methods, Spectral Integration Elements
- Numerical methods for incompressible flows
- General circulation of the atmosphere, Baroclinic instability
