Research Interest

In MPI-M, I intend to investigate the roles of oceanic waves in low-frequency (seasonal to decadal) variations of the ocean. As a first step, I am analyzing the results of MPI-OM and developing conceptual models for baroclinic Kelvin/Rossby waves.

My research area also includes

Baroclinic gravity and planetary waves in oceans and lakes
Bottom boundary layers
Development and application of theoretical framework and numerical methods that provide a conceptual understanding of large scale flows
Parameterization of damping and mixing processes using analytical models and experimental data analysis
Fine sediment transport
