Research Interests
I am open to applications for PhD projects in governing models and numerical methods for unsteady turbulent flows, the fundamentals of high speed turbulent flows relevant to high speed propulsion and explosions or implosion, and finally predicting challenging aerodynamic flows such as full wind farm calculations, helicopters and automotive aerodynamics. I would like to encourage in particular female candidates or candidates from any other underrepresented minorities.
Public outreach & key achievements
I'm a strong believer in outreach and have initiated, organised and participated in outreach activities at the Science Museum, London (featured on New Scientist online), appeared on ABC breakfast news, ABC Radio and written articles for The Conversation.
