My research centers on the theory and parameterization of internal waves in planetary and astrophysical fluid systems. Internal waves play a fundamental role in atmospheres, oceans, planetary interiors, and stars: they transport momentum, redistribute heat and chemical species, and deposit energy where they dissipate. Yet across these systems, we still lack predictive theoretical frameworks capable of quantifying their large-scale dynamical impacts.
I develop analytical theory and physically grounded parameterizations to describe how internal waves are generated by turbulent and convective flows, how they propagate through stratified and rotating environments, and how they interact with mean flows and turbulence. A central theme of my work is wave−mean flow interaction and wave−driven transport, with the goal of improving how these processes are represented in global circulation and climate models.
Although much of my research focuses on planetary atmospheres (including Mars), the underlying physics is universal. By identifying common dynamical principles across atmospheres, oceans, planetary cores, and stellar interiors, I aim to build transferable modeling frameworks that bridge geophysical and astrophysical fluid dynamics.
Through a combination of theory, parameterization development, and model−observation comparison, my work seeks to advance a quantitative understanding of how internal waves shape large-scale circulation and long−term evolution in planetary and stellar systems.
