Current research is focussed on the understanding and prediction of transitional and unsteady flow phenomena and on relevant engineering applications, such as turbomachinery design and low-emissions combustion systems. Techniques employed to address these exciting challenges include, hot wire anemometry, particle image velocimetry, pressure scanning, and computational techniques.

Collaboration with British industry includes Rolls-Royce and ALSTOM. International collaboration extends to ongoing work with the University of Tasmania, the US Naval Postgraduate School and the Canadian NRC.
