I made some videos explaining some of my recent research:

These were recorded while visiting Steve Brunton's lab.

Book:

Analytic solutions for flows through cascades

Springer, 2020 (link)

My PhD thesis was kindly published as a book by Springer. In the thesis, I use and develop techniques from complex variable theory to study idealised flows through cascades (periodic array of objects). These fluids problems are relevant to turbomachinery aeroacoustics and aerodynamics in addition to natural scenarios such as fish schooling. Most of the chapters from the thesis have been published individually in the papers below. The thesis also jointly won the "Best Thesis Award" from the UK Fluids Network.


The unpublished thesis can be downloaded here.
