Kurt Vonnegut, Jr, Breakfast of Champions.

(he/him/his) Associate Professor in the Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Physics group in the Department of Physics at the University of Toronto. I am primarily interested in modelling fundamental processes associated with small-scale oceanic flows, using numerical simulations, analytical modelling and sometimes laboratory experiments.

I am also a member of the Centre for Global Change Science at the University of Toronto and of the Surface Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) science team.

And in case you're wondering, it's pronounced [Gree-zoo-ar]. But I'm not fussy about it.

Practicalities

Most of the time, you will find me in room 703 of the Burton Tower, McLennan Physical Laboratories, on the St. George campus of the University of Toronto (map and directions).
