Welcome

Welcome to the personal webpage of Dr Jason Laurie. I hold the position of Senior Lecturer in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Data Science at Aston University situated in the city of Birmingham in the United Kingdom.

I am an applied mathematician working in the field of turbulence. My research interests include fluid dynamics and turbulence (both classical and quantum), nonlinear waves, and nonlinear optics.
