Bio
I am a physical oceanographer seeking to understand multi-scale oceanic processes in the upper ocean and their impacts on marine ecosystem dynamics. Our group combines modern innovative observational platforms and numerical models to explore fundamental physical processes and physical-biological coupling.
Our previous and current studies are primarily centered on the following topics:
1, Upper Ocean Physics
2, Physical Influences On Marine Ecosystem Dynamics
3, Mesoscale and Submesoscale Variability
Areas of Expertise
- Physical Oceanography
- Upper Ocean Dynamics
- Physical-biological interactions
Education
