About the PI
I'm an Assistant Professor at the School of Marine Sciences, University of Maine, and Associated Faculty at the Climate Change Institute, University of Maine. My research interests include, but are not limited to: how energy, mass, and seawater properties are transported and modified by large and mesoscale processes, deep ocean circulation, ocean dynamics, and variability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Although my research approach is primarily based on in-situ moored observations, I try to implement the best tools to answer my scientific questions.
