Jack Skinner

I am a postdoctoral researcher at California Institute of Technology and Brandeis University working with Albion Lawrence and Jörn Callies. I was previously at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and I was a guest researcher at the Flatiron Institute. I completed my Ph.D. in Astrophysics with James Y-K. Cho at Queen Mary University of London.

My research centers on atmospheric and oceanic fluid dynamics. Specficially, computational studies of rotating and stratified fluids to understand how vortices, turbulence, and wave–mean flow interactions shape the flows on exoplanets, Earth's atmosphere and ocean, the solar system gas giant planets, and other astrophysical objects.
