I have been a lecturer in Physical Oceanography in the Department of
Meteorology since August 2007. Previously, I was the project manager
of the RAPID-funded project
"Understanding uncertainty in simulations of THC-related rapid climate change" along with Jonathan Gregory. This projects aims to be modelled after the
coordinated experiments initiated by the international CMIP (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project) allready in place.
Previously, I worked at the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de
l'Environnement in Saclay (France), at the University of California at
Los Angeles (United States), at the Laboratoire de Meteorologie Dynamique
(France), and at the University of Cape Town (South Africa). My research
has focused successively on the simple models of the THC, the theory and
study of oceanic planetary waves, and the parameterization of internal
gravity waves and atmospheric deep convection in atmospheric General
circulation Models. My work is now focusing primarily on developing
rigorous theoretical frameworks for understanding the energetics of
turbulent stratified fluids governed by the compressible Navier Stokes
equations for a binary fluid, with the ultimate aim of devising physically-based
mixing parameterizations for use in numerical ocean climate models.
