Hello! I’m a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University (https://cimes.princeton.edu/), where I work on the parameterization of ocean mesoscale eddies in climate models. I am a member of the [Ocean Transport and Eddy Energy Climate Process Team] (https://ocean-eddy-cpt.github.io/). Prior to this position, I completed my Ph.D. at School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, Stony Brook University.

My research focuses on understanding the generation and dissipation mechanisms of mesoscale eddies, how these eddies mix tracers, and how to represent their effects in numerical models that simulate the Earth’s climate. I currently work on improve the representation of the vertical structure and energetics of mesoscale eddies in the ocean model of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory. My approach involves theories and numerical models, including instability theories of geophysical flows, ocean circulation and turbulence theories, quasigeostrophic models, and both idealized and realistic general circulation models. I have a strong interest in geophysical fluid dynamics and like learning broad topics of climate modeling.

When I’m not doing research, I like running, hiking in mountains, and playing basketball and soccer.
