Hi all! I defended my Ph.D. thesis back in 2019 and I also served as the creator and moderator for the subreddit r/FluidMechanics for a long time. I think with that I have gathered enough experience and courage to answer some of your queries. Some broad topics that I can answer questions on are:

  • computation fluid mechanics
  • scientific programming and HPC
  • nonlinear shallow water equations
  • statistical description of turbulence: spectra, energy budget etc.
  • experimental methods: PIV
  • stratified turbulence
  • academia
  • navigating your career pre- and post-Ph.D.

Ask away!

    Do you ever stare at a crowd of moving people through a busy street, and think “I could model this”?

      Not really, maybe it is a bit random like Brownian Motion.

      I had thougt of automobile traffic on roads to be similar to 1D compressible flows, where traffic jams are like shock waves. As a graduate student I thought the idea was novel, but turns out others had thought about it. 🤣
