I am a postdoctoral fellow in George Haller's nonlinear dynamics group at ETH Zürich.
My previous research has been concerned with the unsteady flow of rotating fluids, specifically focusing on the dynamics resulting from impulsive changes in rotation rate, including the formation of boundary layers, their subsequent evolution, and the formation of instabilities.
