Research

Toby is a member of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, in the Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics group. His current research interests are

  • Turbulent atmospheric dynamics -- the various angular transport mechanisms present in the Earth's middle atmosphere, and in the atmospheres of other astronomical objects.
  • Coupling of plasma effects to atmospheric processes -- the role of magnetic fields in modifying large-scale dynamical mechanisms within atmospheres and gaseous interiors.
  • Instabilities in magnetic fields and dynamo processes.
