Research interests include the following:

• The derivation of mathematical theorems which determine geometry and symmetries under which electrically conducting fluids cannot continually sustain magnetic fields especially in turbulent fluid flows.
• Investigating the theory of turbulent fluid flow geometry under the influence of rotation and background magnetic fields.
• Developing theory of the thermodynamics of electrically conducting (turbulent) fluid in rotating frames of reference, and under the influence of magnetic fields.
• Advancing the understanding of the pedagogy of mathematical modelling and developing techniques for addressing the transition from learning and teaching mathematical modelling to true research modelling.
