RESEARCH

My research focuses on theoretical fluid dynamics, and the research topics include geophysical fluid dynamics, turbulence, magnetohydrodynamics and microfluid dynamics. In research, I use techniques such as asymptotic expansion, variational calculus, bifurcation theory and numerical simulation.
