Biography
I am a physical oceanographer interested in better understanding the physics of the lower atmosphere and upper ocean. I use theoretical, laboratory, numerical and field approaches to better understand these processes. I believe we build knowledge through open, collaborative, reproducible research that focuses on the underlying physical mechanisms of the phenomena in question.
Research
Surface and Internal Waves, Upper Ocean Dynamics, Submesoscale Phenomena, Fluid Mechanics, Air-Sea Interaction
Education
BS Mathematics/BS Physics UCSB (2004-2008)
