Neil Lewis

I am a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. The aim of my research is to develop a general understanding of the fluid flows that occur in planetary and stellar environments. I have worked on a variety of problems, including Earth's atmospheric circulation and its response to climate change, large-scale atmospheric dynamics (Solar- and extra-solar planets), and convection in the interiors of stars and giant planets. Currently, my research is focussed on developing a new model for atmospheric dynamics in Jupiter's visible 'weather layer'. For further information, please visit my personal website.

Prior to arriving in Exeter, I completed my DPhil in Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics at the University of Oxford, under the supervision of Peter Read. The topic of my thesis was atmospheric circulation on slowly rotating planets (e.g., Venus, Titan) and extrasolar planets.

I welcome opportunities to begin new collaborations; please contact me via email if you have a project idea you'd like to discuss.
