We do research in fundamental plasma physics ranging from fluid models to kinetic theory, including mathematical modelling and computation, with applications to magnetic confinement fusion and astrophysics.
We use analytical theory, numerical simulation and analysis of data from observations and laboratory experiments to understand the fundamental mechanisms that govern turbulent transport, transitional behaviour and energy transfer across scales in different regimes of plasma turbulence, from MHD to ion and electron scales.
Our research in mathematical and theoretical astrophysics focusses on stellar dynamics, using techniques from kinetic theory and fluid dynamics.
We do fundamental research in magnetoconvection in liquid metals and molten salts, focussing on transition scenarios, multistability and heat transfer.
We develop and apply methods for data analysis and simulation. Our work comprises optimisation, numerical analysis, data-driven approaches and machine learning/AI.
