Research

Till is a graduate student at the Polar Ocean Physics Group at DAMTP and at the British Antarctic Survey. His research is concerned with the physical processes underlying the behaviour of sea ice. 

At the moment he is primarily studying deformations of thin floating sheets. This is particularly interesting since the theoretical framework not only applies to sea ice, but to any thin sheet that can be modelled as floating on a liquid (like, for example, the inner lining of lungs).
