About Me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Born in Toronto, I received my Honours BSc in Physics, with a minor in Mathematics, from McMaster University in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then moved to Cambridge, USA, receiving my PhD in Applied Mathematics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, I moved to Cambridge, UK where I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) at the University of Cambridge, from 2020-2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, I moved back to Toronto where I have since been an Assistant Professor in Applied Mathematics at 快播视频.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

My group's research is focused in the realm of fluid mechanics<\/strong>, where we have considered a variety of topics including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Pilot-wave Hydrodynamics<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Stratified Turbulence<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Viscoelastic Flows<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Wherever possible, our theoretical inquiries are guided by data obtained from laboratory experiments, observational measurements, and\/or numerical simulation of governing equations. Given the proliferation of datasets now available, we also seek to leverage machine-learning techniques to distill massive datasets into reduced forms amenable to mathematical analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Our group led the formation of the STRATA Research Group<\/a>, whose objective is to generate and analyze direct numerical simulations of turbulent flows influenced by buoyancy, as commonly appear in a variety of geophysical, industrial and environmental scenarios.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
