- Solar System
- Jupiter
His primary scientific interests are in Atmospheric sciences, Stratosphere, Troposphere, Astronomy and Saturn.
His Atmospheric sciences study incorporates themes from Storm, Atmosphere and Equator, Latitude.
When carried out as part of a general Stratosphere research project, his work on Polar vortex is frequently linked to work in Environmental science, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
His work in Astronomy covers topics such as Astrophysics which are related to areas like Radiative transfer and Spectral line.
His work deals with themes such as Atmospheric circulation, Anticyclone, Potential vorticity and Jupiter, which intersect with Saturn.
His biological study deals with issues like Solar System, which deal with fields such as Gas giant and Accretion.
His most cited work include:
- The NEMESIS planetary atmosphere radiative transfer and retrieval tool (371 citations)
- JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE): An ESA mission to orbit Ganymede and to characterise the Jupiter system (277 citations)
- Optimal estimation retrievals of the atmospheric structure and composition of HD 189733b from secondary eclipse spectroscopy (171 citations)
