Research Interests

My reseach interests lie in the application of classical (Hamiltonian) mechanics to derivation of
a diagnostic of the available energy of the meridional circulation in the (middle) atmosphere. Read more...
Ph.D. supervisor: Prof. Theodore G. Shepherd

In the past I did research on the phenomenology of the (supersymmetric) Higgs boson(s), renormalization group equations, etc.

Teaching

2007-2008

I coordinated the POPTOR
(the University of Toronto Physics Olympiad Preparation Program for Ontario high-school students).
I had a great time with POPTOR.

For a few years I was a tutor for the PHY138Y course (first year Physics for Life Sciences).
Prior to tutoring I was a demonstrator for the PHY138Y and PHY110Y laboratory.

2003-2006

2000-2003

Miscellanea

Well, there has to be something under construction...

Ok, here is something some may find useful
