Welcome
Welcome to the webpage of Dr Jason Laurie. I previously worked in academia as a Senior Lecturer in Applied Mathematics at Aston University in Birmingham, UK. This webpage is currently being maintained for those interested in my previous research and publications.
During my academic career, my particular research interests included problems related to fluid dynamics and turbulence (both classical and quantum), nonlinear waves, and nonlinear optics.
