My research centers on investigating hydrodynamic instabilities using the methods of computational fluid dynamics and bifurcation theory. In particular, I am interested in understanding pattern formation and transition to turbulence in thermal convection problems and geophysical flows. In recent years I have focused on multicomponent mixtures with a particular emphasis on the Soret effect, which accounts for thermally-induced diffusion. This line of research explores how temperature and concentration gradients notably affect heat and mass transfer processes within systems.
