Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJulian Mak is an Associate Professor of Ocean Sciences at HKUST with eight years of post-PhD research and academic experience focused on geophysical fluid dynamics and ocean mesoscale processes. He has held postdoctoral positions at Oxford, Edinburgh and Tel Aviv and led research on eddy geometry and energetics under NERC’s GEOMETRIC programme. Skilled in MITgcm, NEMO, Python, Fortran and MATLAB, he blends theoretical work on shear and baroclinic instabilities with practical ocean-climate modelling. Based in Hong Kong and a senior NOC fellow in the UK, he bridges UK and Hong Kong research communities to advance representation of mesoscale eddies in climate models. His background in applied mathematics and magnetohydrodynamics gives him a distinctive analytical perspective on ocean turbulence and wave–mean interactions.
