Dr Luke Gostelow
- Research Associate (Mathematics)
Biography
I am currently a Research Associate working primarily with Rob Teed; our current project is on studying the effect of the magnetic field on the structure of flows in the geodynamo and other plantary dynamos. I have also taught the 5M:Magnetohydrodynamics course since 2025.
I have worked on a number of topics in magnetohydrodyamics, including shear instabilities, vortices, and flux expulsion. I also have a couple of developing research projects, which aim to investigate the influence of stochastic noise on dynamos and develop novel boundary conditions which can preserve physical conditions in the asymptotic, diffusion-free limit.
