2021- Research Scientist | Earth Sciences / Biospheric Sciences (SGE) | NASA Ames
Moffett Field, CA
Analysis and modeling to advance NASA's coastal and ocean ecosystems research priorities at Ames. Topics of past research include ocean surface mixed layer dynamics, wind-driven dynamics, inertial oscillations, submesoscales and turbulence; ocean biogeochemistry, nutrients and phytoplankton; large-scale ocean circulation; impacts of climate change on ocean circulation, biogeochemistry and ecosystems. A recurring theme is the use of large-scale scientific computing resources to address questions of interest.
2017-2021 Project Scientist | Climate and Global Dynamics / Oceanography | NCAR
Boulder, CO
Exploring the role of the ocean in the Earth system from the global scale to the meter scale.
2015-2017 NSF Post-doc fellow | DAMTP | University of Cambridge
Cambridge, UK
Modeling ocean biogeochemical dynamics in wind-forced fronts and eddies.
2011-2014 PhD | Environmental Earth System Science | Stanford University
Stanford, CA
Theoretical/observational physical oceanographic research. [Project description]. Thesis advised by Professor Leif Thomas; degree conferred in 2015.
2009-2011 MS | Environmental Engineering | Stanford University
Stanford, CA
Atmosphere/Energy. Research included analysis of satelite observations and global atmospheric model data to explore the vertical transport of commercial avation emissions from cruise altitude and how these emissions might impact surface air quality. [Project description]. Degree conferred in 2011.
2009 Summer Internship | National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)
Boulder, CO
Investigated the impact of using numerical approximations of coordinate transformations in a spectral-element shallow water model on a cubed sphere during a summer internship in parallel computing at NCAR.
2004-2009 AB/BS | Columbia University
New York, NY
Dual degree in liberal arts (major: pure mathematics) and engineering (major: applied mathematics). Conducted some research on mathematical models of running strategy with inspiration and some in-person advice from Joe Keller, as well as weekly advice from Michael Weinstein. Graduated with a B.A. in Math and a B.S. in Applied Math in May 2009.
