Biography

I am an Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University. My research focuses on ocean dynamics, particularly on how the ocean transports heat and other tracers around the globe. I use a combination of theory, ocean models and scalable analysis tools in python. Recently I have been exploring how Lagrangian particles can be used to investigate ocean transport.
