I study the atmosphere (lower- and upper- layers) and the coupled atmosphere-ice-ocean system by means of numerical models. I am particularly interested in (and I have published about) atmospheric gravity waves propagation and breaking, and large-scale coupling between the atmosphere and the ocean.  

My research at the ICTP concerns the coupling between the atmosphere and the ocean at the polar regions via sea ice. In particular, I look at how sea ice is affected by changes in the parameterised orographic gravity wave drag in current climate models. 

On the topics of gravity wave modelling and climate at the polar regions I collaborate with researchers across various international institutions, among these: University of Leeds, UK Met Office, British Antarctic Survey.
