Swirling Flows & Vortex Breakdown
Aerodynamics of gas-turbine combustors: limits of RANS modeling, and objective vortex identification (λ₂, Q-criterion).

Computational Fluid Dynamics — [affiliation]
I work on turbulence modeling and the reduction of high-dimensional data: the aerodynamics of swirling flows and vortex breakdown, and modal decomposition via POD / DMD. Recently I have been extending modal thinking beyond fluids — into music and photography.

Reducing High-Dimensional Data
Extracting a few dominant modes from flow fields with hundreds of millions of DOF; applications of SPOD / BMD and CS-SPOD.
CROSSOVER
Crossover into Music
Applying modal decomposition to music information retrieval: mapping songs into an interpretable ~8-dimensional space.
