I am a Lecturer in Applied Mathematics and a member of the Vortex Dynamics Research Group headed by Professor D.G. Dritschel in the School of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of St Andrews.

   The other members of the group are Dr M. Carr , Dr R.K. Scott , Dr C.V. Tran, Dr S. King, Dr S. Liu, Dr Y.-K. Tsang, Mr L. Blackbourne , and Miss H. Plotka.

   I am also a member of the Scottish Oceans Institute , at the University of St Andrews.

   My main research is on geophysical vortex interactions and turbulence.

   Some informations about me are available on this page.  You can also see my CV in pdf format.

   The Vortex Dynamics Research Group organises informal internal seminars. The schedule is accessible from this page.

   We organised the 20th Annual Scottish Fluid Mechanics Meeting, St Andrews, 25 May 2007. The website of the conference (which includes a booklet of short abstracts) is here.

   We organised (with ENSICA --- now part of ISAE) the 1st International Conference on High Reynolds Number Vortex Interactions  in Toulouse from 29-31 August 2005. The link to the Conference website (which includes the book of extended abstracts) is here.

   The sequel conference, the 2nd International Conference on High Reynolds Number Vortex Interactions  was held in Brest 31 August-2 September 2009, and was organised by the LPO/UBO, Brest and the Vortex Group, St Andrews. The link to the Conference website is here.
