I am a Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at UCSD and at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
My research interests lie mostly in fluid dynamics and applied mathematics. I work in particular on geophysical fluid dynamics, vortex dynamics, fluid-structure interaction and asymptotics. I also have an interest in Mathematics in Industry. The Research page and its subpages give more detail about my work.
I wrote a LaTeX class file that satisfies NSF guidelines for proposals. I also wrote the Journal of Fluid Mechanics bibliography style file. See the LaTex page. Resources for mathematical software can be found on the Mathematical software page.
I am an Associate Editor for the journal Fluid Dynamics Research and a moderator for arXiv physics.ao-ph.
I am also a faculty member of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Program at WHOI, which runs a summer school every year. I encourage graduate students with a strong background in applied mathematics and/or fluid mechanics with an interest in GFD to consider applying.
Potential students and postdocs: please read the following page.
Background:
I did my undergraduate and graduate work in Mathematics at the University of Cambridge at Queens' College. I did a postdoc at SIO and was a Research Fellow at Queens' and DAMTP. I moved to MAE in 1999. I was on sabbatical at the Laboratoire de Physique Statistique of the Ecole Normale Supérieure during 2004-2005 and at the Institut de Mécanique des Fluides de Toulouse during 2011-2012. Here is my full CV.
This is an old (1999) picture, but I like it.
