Welcome to my website!

I am a lecturer in Applied Mathematics at Newcastle University.

My CV is available here.

My research concerns the dynamics of stellar interiors, including the solar interior. My main interests are:

• Transport of angular momentum and magnetic flux across the solar ‘tachocline’.
• Hall and electron MHD in neutron stars.
• Superfluidity and superconductivity.
• Chemical transport in stellar interiors by meridional flows and double-diffusive convection.
• Turbulent pumping of magnetic flux by anisotropic compressible convection.
• Dynamo action in laminar and turbulent flows.
• Applications of Lagrangian mechanics to thermodynamics and fluid dynamics.

I am also interested in

• Anomalous, long-range transport of angular momentum by turbulence and wave breaking.
• Instabilities in magnetized shear flows.
• Stellar structure and evolution.
• Thermoelectric effects in crystals.
