Research interests

My postdoc research is on trailing edge blowing flow control for wings; specifically focusing on Reynolds number effects related to mixing of the surface turbulent boundary layer with the trailing edge jet around a curved trailing edge surface. 

PhD research: Marie-Curie actions project TEAMAero (https://h2020-teamaero.eu/) on oblique shock wave boundary layer interactions and shock control bumps.

Previous Master's level work focused on rapidly rotating bodies in supersonic flow and moving shock wave reflections on air-water interfaces.
