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.
