Who am I?
I received my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics from the University of Pennsylvania in 2024 under the guidance of Dr. George Ilhwan Park. I have since joined the Dynamics of Ocean Currents and Fronts Group as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography, working with Dr. Kathleen Donohue and Dr. D. Randolph Watts.
Research Scope
My research aims to use numerical models and simulations, in collaboration with experimentalists and observationalists, to uncover physical mechanisms governing flow processes. I leverage my background in mechanical engineering and turbulence to apply a unique perspective to answer scientific questions involving physical oceanography and geophysical fluids.
