Research Interests

  • Small-scale physical processes, such as turbulence, in oceans and lakes.

  • Mixing processes in the surface and bottom boundary layers in oceans  and lakes.

  • Air-sea interactions and physics of heat and momentum transfer between the atmosphere and the aquatic boundary layer (specifically, convective and surface-wave related processes).

  • Physical oceanography of coastal regions.

  • Model-aided analysis of the response of lakes/coastal regions to external (atmospheric) forcing.
