Research Associate
Science
School of Mathematics & Statistics

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the School of Mathematics and Statistics at University of New South Wales (UNSW). I previously obtained a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Lafayette College, USA, in 2014, and was a PhD candidate in Earth Science at the Australian National University (ANU) 2016-2019.

I am interested in developing and using new diagnostic frameworks to understand the global ocean, including through water mass analysis. My work at UNSW focusses on m...
