Delighted to pass my viva today! Huge thanks goes to my supervisors, examiners, @CDTFluidsLeeds and @EPSRC for the funding.
Congratulations to @CDTFluidsLeeds student @ColinMHardy on passing your viva today! What a great early Christmas present, onwards and upwards Dr Hardy! #cdtalumni #fluiddynamics #fluids

***new paper alert***
The second paper from my #PhD has just been published by @PhysRevFluids. What a great way to end the week! 🎉🎊
Thermal boundary layers (TBL) control many aspects of convecting systems and we try to accurately measure the size of these TBL.

You heard of Quasi-Geostrophy, but have you heard of Plesio-Geostrophy? 🤪 This new paper describes a new mathematical model that we will use to explore interannual dynamics of the Earth's outer core. Tests being currently run!

What an exciting week! I have joined @LivUniGeomag as a postdoc to work on geodynamo modelling with @andybiggin and co. What ingredients do simulations need in order to resemble Earth's magnetic field of the past millions of years (and even longer)? Let's find out...

After giving it time to settle in, I am happy to say that I passed my PhD viva this morning!!
Big thank you to @CDTFluidsLeeds for giving me the opportunity to do my PhD with some great supervisors @ChthonicJon @ChrisDaviesGeo @StevenTobias7.
I couldn't have asked for better!

It has been a lot of fun the past 3 years working on rotating convection by mixing numerical simulations and laboratory experiments!
Thanks to Jon Aurnou & Jewel Abbate (UCLA) for hosting me during my visit and @EPSRC for funding.

Excited and delightful to start as a postdoc research associate at the @OxUniMaths in @UniofOxford joining the @WCMBlog and OCIAM group. I'll be working on mathematical modelling of cell therapies for liver disease funded by @The_MRC. More to come soon...

Check out our new paper on Parareal and Rayleigh-Benard convection: doi.org/10.1007/s00791-020-0…, with
@StevenTobias7, @D_Ruprecht, @ChrisDaviesGeo and Jeff Oishi.

Delighted to see this paper come out from the mightily talented @shandypandy2. How does the parareal parallel-in-time algorithm fare when applied to Rayleigh-Benard convection? Our attempt at answering this question is here: link.springer.com/article/10…

Very happy to see this paper come out in @NatureComms. We asked the question: how fast can Earth's magnetic field change direction? The answer is "pretty fast" - perhaps up to 10 degrees per year if you're near the equator. A rather longer answer is here: rdcu.be/b5rQr

I just came across a new paper discussing convection experiments performed on the international space station... as if rotating convection wasn't already cool enough

How to revise:
As an editor and author I have seen many revised papers return to journals. Given effort, most go well (ie step toward acceptance). Some go pear-shaped. I’ve slowly improved and have an approach known by my group as the ‘Breakspear method”. Here is its essence
