My research primarily involves modeling coastal and ocean hydrodynamics, with specific focus on numerical and theoretical modeling of water waves. Current research interests include generation and evolution of waves in density-stratified fluids and turbulent mixing, evolution of surface waves and their interaction with currents and sediment bed, and the impact of climate change and sea-level rise on coastal areas.
