Research: My current research focuses on the numerical modeling of the physical and ecological environments in the Mid-Atlantic Bight and Rhode Island coastal waters. The model system I constructed is being used to obtain a quantitative understanding of the long-term variability of the shelfbreak circulations in the Mid- Atlantic Bight, and to investigate the impacts of physical processes on the ecological processes in Rhode Island coastal waters.
