Research Interest

I am an oceanographer interested in the dynamics of the ocean and climate with active research efforts on the study of the Southern Ocean surface layer and its impact on the global ocean circulation. I mostly focus on the observational connection between the ocean surface and the deep ocean interior, with particular emphasises on heat, salt and anthropogenic carbon sequestration in the Southern Ocean. My research tackles questions from oceanic turbulence to large-scale ocean circulation, as well as on the impact of ocean physics on biology.
