Expertise
My research activities along my career have been varied, ranging from the study of geophysical flow stability, to the use of geometric methods in constructing geophysical flow models, to the study of different aspects of ocean dynamics and thermodynamics, to the investigation of sound propagation of in deep ocean environments using Hamiltonian mechanics methods, to the study of transport and mixing processes in geophysical flows using tools from dynamical systems theory.
My current primary research activity concerns the study of transport and mixing processes in geophysical flows.
Numerical analysis in my research activities ranges from the investigation of simple, analytically prescribed kinematic advection fields, to dynamically selfconsistent, numerically generated advection fields, to realistic velocity fields produced by global circulation models, both oceanic and atmospheric.
