Personal profile
Biography
I am an applied mathematician and my primary research interests are in Fluid Mechanics.
Follow this link for details of current PhD opportunities in Mathematics. But feel free to email me to discuss projects outside these areas and alternative sources of funding.
Key Research Interests
My main research interest is in Fluid Mechanics. . I work in a variety of different areas including low Reynolds number flows, thin films, nonlinear waves, hydroelastic waves, interfacial flows, biological flows, and electrified and Marangoni-driven flows.
