Expertise: I am interested in the physical mechanisms governing basic and environmental fluid mechanics. My research activities cover a wide range of scales and phenomena, from geophysical flows down to vortex dynamics and particle-turbulence interactions, and relate to many different environments, e.g. the Utah desert and Alpine glaciers. As an experimentalist I plan to develop novel measuring techniques and statistical tools for data analysis, for both wind tunnel and field work. My research at SAFL is on the mutual interactions between the large scales of turbulence and the evolution of erodible sediment layers. Practical applications involve stream restoration projects, optimization of hydrokinetic devices and wind turbines for sustainable energy production
