Biography

Gregory read Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, specialising in applied mathematics and fluid dynamics. He was awarded a BA in 1984 and a PhD in 1990 (working on heat flow and air movement in buildings). He remained in Cambridge University, with a research fellowship from NERC working on the structure of buoyant jets and plumes. From 1991 - 1999 he was a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the School of Ocean and Earth Science (formerly Department of Oceanography), Southampton Oceanography Centre, University of Southampton; where he worked on flow through straits and density currents. Gregory joined UMIST in January 2000.

Research interests

  • Buildings: natural ventilation of buildings
  • Oceanography: straits, overflows, turbidity currents, hydrothermal plumes, marine outfalls
  • Paleoceanography: response of ocean flows to changes in sea-level and climate
  • Basic fluid dynamics: gravity currents, plumes, sediment, hydraulic control, rotation
  • Methods: laboratory and mathematical modelling, field observations and numerical models
