Hi! I am an Assistant Professor in the Fluid Mechanics group at Imperial College London. My research combines fundamental and applied fluid dynamics, with interests ranging from geophysical flows and stratified turbulence to mixing, transport, and energy optimisation in buildings.
The unifying theme of my PhD and postdoctoral research has been the investigation of stratified rotating flows with laboratory experiments. I am particularly interested in gravity waves, which are ubiquitous in the ocean and atmosphere and remain one of the key unresolved processes in climate models.
Before moving to London, I spent a little over a year at LEGI in Grenoble, working within the international collaboration on wave turbulence, funded by the Simons Foundation. There, I investigated internal gravity wave turbulence experimentally using the 13-m Coriolis rotating platform. This is the largest rotating platform in the world solely dedicated to the study of the fluid mechanics!
Outside academia, I am also an opera lover and trained as an opera singer.
