Bio/Description

Title: Senior Research Assistant

Position: The Department of Geosciences and the High Meadows Environmental Institute

Area(s): Climate Science

Research Summary:  I completed my Ph.D. in 2024 in the Climate and Fluids Physics Group, Australian National University, Australia. My doctoral research focused on better understanding the drivers of large-scale ocean circulation, with an emphasis on gyres (swirling water masses in the ocean). I started a postdoctoral position at the Princeton University in 2025, where I focus on improving estimates of oceanic heat, oxygen, and carbon budgets using multi-scale ocean modelling and machine learning approaches.

Keywords: Heat, carbon, gyres, ocean circulation
