Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Geometry
  • Mathematical analysis

Michael R. E. Proctor spends much of his time researching Mechanics, Convection, Magnetic field, Dynamo and Classical mechanics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Breaking wave and Longitudinal wave. Rayleigh–Bénard convection, Convective heat transfer and Rayleigh number are the subjects of his Convection studies.

His Rayleigh–Bénard convection study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hopf bifurcation, Oscillation and Nonlinear system. The various areas that Michael R. E. Proctor examines in his Dynamo study include Omega and Astrophysics. In the subject of general Classical mechanics, his work in Shear flow is often linked to Forcing, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His most cited work include:

  • Fluctuation dynamo and turbulent induction at low magnetic Prandtl numbers (174 citations)
  • Nonlinear Rayleigh–Bénard convection between poorly conducting boundaries (164 citations)
  • Lectures on solar and planetary dynamos (157 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His main research concerns Classical mechanics, Mechanics, Magnetic field, Dynamo and Convection. His Classical mechanics study also includes fields such as

  • Nonlinear system which intersects with area such as Amplitude,
  • Bifurcation that connect with fields like Symmetry. His Mechanics study frequently links to other fields, such as Magnetic flux.

His research integrates issues of Field, Work and Astrophysics in his study of Magnetic field. His work on Dynamo theory and Solar dynamo as part of general Dynamo study is frequently linked to Magnetic energy, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Convection study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mathematical analysis and Geophysics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Classical mechanics (44.74%)
  • Mechanics (43.16%)
  • Magnetic field (36.84%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Mechanics (43.16%)
  • Magnetic field (36.84%)
  • Classical mechanics (44.74%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Mechanics, Magnetic field, Classical mechanics, Dynamo and Convection. His research in the fields of Buoyancy and Instability overlaps with other disciplines such as Magnetic energy. His Magnetic field research integrates issues from Work and Astrophysics.

His Dynamo research includes themes of Action, Magnetic Reynolds number, Statistical physics and Boundary value problem. His Convection research incorporates elements of Symmetry breaking, Turbulence and Bifurcation. His Dynamo theory research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Flow and Shear flow.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Inverse cascade and symmetry breaking in rapidly rotating Boussinesq convection (95 citations)
  • Elastohydrodynamic Synchronization of Adjacent Beating Flagella. (33 citations)
  • The effect of velocity shear on dynamo action due to rotating convection (18 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Geometry
  • Mathematical analysis

His scientific interests lie mostly in Classical mechanics, Dynamo, Convection, Magnetic field and Turbulence. His Classical mechanics study combines topics in areas such as Iterated function, Scaling law, Mean field theory, Nonlinear system and Piecewise. The study incorporates disciplines such as Magnetic Reynolds number and Boundary value problem in addition to Dynamo.

The concepts of his Convection study are interwoven with issues in Generalization and Bifurcation. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Mechanics and Magnetic field. Michael R. E. Proctor has included themes like Symmetry breaking, Action, Work, Astrophysics and Statistical physics in his Turbulence study.
