Researcher Summary

I am primarily a highly interdisciplinary Data Scientist interested in understanding complex dynamical systems, by analyzing their high frequency outputs/data, from which we might be able to infer their intrinsic mechanisms. Most of my research to date has involved studying the role of turbulence in the atmosphere, but recent advances in neurosciences has highlighted the fact the brain signals, can also be studied using methods applied to turbulent motion in fluids.
