• Research Interests
  My main interest is in the development, application, and adaption of numerical methods for the simulation of oceanic flows. Particular areas include: uncertainty quantification, spectral element methods for oceanic simulations, advection schemes in structured and unstructured grids, coupling of offshore and basin-scale models, and parallel computing. A (dated) version of my CV is available.
