I'm a Postdoc at MIT, working with Prof. Abigail Bodner on submesoscale ocean dynamics. My research interests lie broadly in geophysical fluid dynamics, turbulence, ice-ocean interactions, eddies, and tides.
Previously, I worked with Prof. Raffaele Ferrari at MIT on ocean bottom boundary layers. I received my PhD at UCLA advised by Prof. Andrew Stewart, focusing on ice-ocean interactions. I earned a B.S. degree from Peking University, studying ocean circulation on exoplanets.
