geophysical flows, stratified turbulence, mixing, and energy optimisation in buildings. I combine the skills I have acquired working in geophysical fluid dynamics to develop innovative data assimilation methods that improve building management and ultimately find solutions to optimise energy consumption and improve building sustainability. The unifying theme of my PhD and past postdoctoral research has been the investigation of stratified rotating flows with laboratory experiments. The focus of my work has been on gravity waves, which can be found ubiquitously in the ocean and atmosphere and represent the unresolved dynamics in climate models, resulting in one of the main sources of uncertainties.
