Magnetic Fields in Protoplanetary Discs
Protoplanetary discs are flattened discs of gas and dust surrounding young stars that are believed to be the sites of planet formation. They are believed to be threaded by large-scale magnetic fields, which significantly ... -
The Dynamics of Geophysical and Astrophysical Turbulence
Turbulence is ubiquitous within geophysical and astrophysical fluid flows. Its interaction with physical ingredients such as rotation and stratification gives rise to spectacular dynamics, including the layering of material ... -
Solitons and dualities in 2+1 dimensions
We examine three topics in the physics of three-dimensional systems, paying particular attention to the roles of topological field theory, topological solitons, and duality. First, we consider the dynamics of nonrelativistic ... -
A cross-scale model for the evolution of influenza within a single season
In this thesis we develop a mathematical cross-scale model for the evolution of influenza within a single season. We model evolution as the emergence and spread of a mutant strain in a population that is already invaded ...
