About:
My research centers on rotating turbulence, the inverse energy cascade, and the formation of large-scale coherent structures in planetary atmospheres. I use numerical simulations to study how gas giants generate and sustain their zonal flows, with a particular interest in the dynamics and vertical structure of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot. To support this work, I develop computational tools for high-resolution modeling of atmospheric vortices and stratified flows.
