Chris Keylock

Professor Chris Keylock is a Professor of Fluid Mechanics at the University of Leicester. His research focuses on non-linear and complex phenomena, particularly in non-equilibrium turbulence dynamics. Key interests include the role of non-local effects in turbulent flows, synthetic data for null hypothesis testing, and multifractal methods. He has contributed to intermittency science, wavelet techniques, and closure models for computational fluid dynamics. Notable work includes studies on canopy turbulence (with Duke, MIT, and Western Australia) and boundary-layer modulation using Hölder exponents (with Southampton and Melbourne).
