Research Overview
My research relates primarily to environmental fluid mechanics and covers a broad range of topics including turbulence in free-surface flows, sediment transport and hydraulic resistance. I also have a particular interest in modelling multiscale nature-inspired roughness patterns and investigating their influence on flow properties.
