Profile

I am a theoretical astrophysicist (PhD at University of Sydney), presently working on applied mathematics of fluid dynamics (convection; turbulence; self-organising flows). I also have some experience in space-based observational astronomy and fusion plasma physics. My astrophysical projects span span many extragalactic and stellar topics (mostly involving hydro/dynamics, self-gravity and/or radiation effects), using methods in research supercomputing or analytic modelling.
