My primary research interest is understanding turbulence through dynamical systems theory. The key idea is to compute unstable invariant solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations (steady states, traveling waves, and periodic orbits) and describe turbulent dynamics as a chaotic walk between these unstable solutions along the low-dimensional network of their unstable manifolds. Additional interests include numerical methods, scientific computing, open-source software, the Julia programming language, and open education.
