My work generally uses numerical simulations, bifurcation analysis and linear stability techniques to investigate fluid stability relating to:
- Elastic turbulence in viscoelastic fluids (both concentrated and dilute regimes).
- Rayleigh-Bénard and internally heated convection.
- Newtonian shear flows and the SSP.
