Research

I do computational and numerical astrophysics with a focus on the atmospheric dynamics and chemical transport on Jupiter. My work is largely theoretical, with a particular focus on diffusive transport, convective instabilities, and turbulence. I use observational constraints and numerical simulations to study the details of atmospheric mass transport, planetary energy cycles, and the distribution of trace chemical species.


The simulations from my most recent work (currently under review) can be downloaded from my GitHub.
