Research interests:

  • Dynamical systems: characterization of predictability ad complexity in chaotic systems,
    high dimensional chaotic systems, chaotic synchronization
  • Turbulence systems: statistical theories of both two-dimensional and three dimensional
    turbulence, Lagrangian turbulence, multifractal model of turbulence, reduced models for
    energy cascade
  • Turbulent transport: transport of fields and particles in fluid turbulence, inertial particles,
    active and passive scalar turbulence, transport of microorganisms in fluid flows
  • Application of machine learning tools to chaotic and turbulent systems (recent interest)
  • Population dynamics: neutral theory of biodiversity
