Dr. Daphné Lemasquerier is a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow and Lecturer in Fluid Dynamics at the School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of St Andrews. Her research combines experimental, numerical, and theoretical approaches to study planetary fluid dynamics, including gas giant atmospheric systems and icy moon subsurface oceans.
Laboratory experiments using rotating tanks investigate jet stream formation, vortex dynamics, and turbulence regimes in conditions analogous to Jupiter and Saturn. Numerical modeling examines how tidal heating patterns in moons like Europa translate to ice-ocean boundaries through convective processes. Additional work explores lava exoplanet interiors and magma ocean evolution.
Research has been recognized with multiple awards including the Andreas Acrivos Dissertation Award (APS), Donald L. Turcotte Award (AGU), and L'Oréal-UNESCO International Rising Talent prize. Current projects include developing experimental Rossby wave-mean flow interaction models and icy moon ocean convection simulations.
She leads the 'Fluid Dynamics of Deep Interiors in the Outer Solar System' project supported by UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship funding. Collaborative work includes partnerships with the National Centre for Atmospheric Science.
