About
I am an ocean dynamicist with interests in the full range of spatial scales, from turbulent to planetary. My research to date has covered turbulence at ice shelf-ocean interface, submesoscale eddy dynamics in the surface mixed layer, topographic interaction and ice shelf cavity circulation. I have a broad experience in numerical modelling with MITgcm and NEMO, both configuring simulations and developing functionality.
