Prof. Nicolas Grisouard

PI

I received my Physics B.Sc. in 2005 from the École Normale Supérieure de Cachan (since renamed ENS Paris-Saclay), and my Ph.D. in Earth, Universe and Environment Sciences in 2010 from the Université de Grenoble (since renamed Université Grenoble Alpes). I then did post-docs at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences in New York City and Stanford University in the Bay Area, until joining the Dept. of Physics at the University of Toronto in 2015. I am primarily interested in fundamental dynamics of small-scale internal waves and internal tides, their interactions with balanced (in the general sense, not limited to geostrophy) flows, and ageostrophic instabilities of submesoscale flows.
