Professor Rich Kerswell works in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge. He specializes in General Fluid Mechanics, focusing on the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe nonlinear dynamics and transition turbulence. His research also encompasses geophysical and astrophysical fluid mechanics, including topics such as convection, stably stratified flows, and the dynamics of planetary interiors and subsurface oceans. He is particularly interested in tidal and precessional librational motion, as well as the behavior of accretion disks. Kerswell's academic journey began with his undergraduate studies in Mathematics at Newcastle University, followed by his doctoral research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He has held academic positions at various institutions, including Mathematics at Bristol University before his current role at Cambridge.
