I’m a physical oceanographer working with Prof. Leif Thomas in the Department of Earth System Science (ESS) at Stanford University on submesoscale fronts. I’m also a coastal modeler with broad interests in multiscale physical and biogeochemical processes in the ocean and how climate change affect the coastal oceans. During my PhD, I have been using a variety of numerical tools, ranging from the NCAR large-eddy simulation (LES) model to the Coupled-Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave-Sediment Transport (COAWST) model, to explore the oceanic surface boundary layer (OSBL) turbulence and its role in marine particle dynamics under the supervision of Prof. Jun-Hong Liang in the Department of Oceanography & Coastal Sciences at Louisiana State University. Before joining Stanford, I was a postdoctoral research associate working with Prof. John Taylor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) at University of Cambridge, and research scientist at Ocean Dynamics & Modeling group at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).
