The marginal band of land-sea interface is the most important habitat of human development.
Fluid dynamics plays a key role in the anthropogenic and natural processes of the interface.
Understanding of these processes and providing engineering solutions to the increasingly emerging problems in the interface environments form a nutshell of my research interests. My interests are formed through the research experience in hydrodynamic modeling of estuaries, laboratory experiments on coastal plumes and jets. The interdisciplinary training broadens my view and gives me an edge in the current educational and funding environment. The approaches I employ may involve laboratory and field experiments, numerical simulations and theoretical explorations. It is postulated that the effects of rotation on turbulence set a preference for anti-cyclonic mixing.
