Welcome! I'm a Postdoctoral Fellow at MIT, working with Prof. Raffaele Ferrari. I study bottom boundary layer turbulence using theoretical approaches and numerical models. My research interests lie broadly in geophysical fluid dynamics, turbulence, ice-ocean interactions, eddies, and tides.
Before joining MIT, I received my PhD at UCLA under the guidance of Prof. Andrew Stewart. My research there focused on the dynamics of ocean circulation around the Antarctic margins, using a combination of theories, numerical simulations, and in-situ measurements.
