My research interests are focused on the dynamics of geophysical fluids (Atmosphere and Ocean). I am fascinated by the study of island-induced phenomena i.e. island wakes. A ‘Web-of-Science’ search for ‘Island Wakes’ ranked me as 4th most published author (out of 672 publications), on this topic. According to Thomson and Reuters, my work has been cited around 140 times, and in G. Scholar my work registers over 250 citations. I am fond of a multiplatform, multidisciplinary approach. This approach out bounds the classical modus operandi, often forcing me to become involved in the construction of my own research tools, including High Performance Computational platforms, numerical models and laboratory settings, as well as in the design and undertaking of in-situ and airborne campaigns. For fun, I like to challenge my working tools testing its forecasting capabilities. Forecasts are valuable scientific products to private and public organisations and thus I have been making complementary efforts to deliver this information in near-real time via the web and/or via mobile platforms. In my view, only good quality scientific products can adequately assist the decision making process!
