I am a physical oceanographer who enjoys exploring ocean processes of various scales that impact the climate. My primary research interests revolve around oceanic internal waves and mesoscale eddies, and how they contribute to ocean mixing. I use a combination of realistic ocean models, idealized process simulations, and theoretical analysis to characterize the dynamics of internal waves and eddies in the ocean. More recently, I am interested in the energetics of internal tides and near-inertial waves as they interact with mesoscale eddies, other background flows and ocean bathymetry, and how well are these processes represented in the current ocean models.
