About Me
I am a researcher at Newcastle University in the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics. My work aims to understand the physical processes in the ocean, and how they interact with different elements of the earth system. My main focus is on the polar oceans, and I currently investigate the interactions between ice shelves ice and buoyant meltwater plumes using both laboratory experiments and numerical modelling to understand these complex processes.
Research Interests
My research is centred on understanding interactions between the cryosphere and oceans at a variety of scales. Currently, I am exploring ice shelf-ocean interactions through laboratory experiments. My PhD Project, “Experimental and Numerical Simulations of Boundary Effects on Internal Solitary Waves” examines how oceanic internal solitary waves (which travel along density interfaces within the water column, and act in a “solitary” manner) interact with sea ice, and underwater slopes. This was primarily conducted in a 7m long flume tank, and was complemented by numerical simulations. Understanding diapycnal mixing of fluids is crucial in these studies, and I have developed tools to better analyse these processes.
