ABOUT ME
I'm a postdoctoral scholar. My research utilizes applied mathematics to investigate the underlying physics of arctic sea ice. I am working on a sea ice model utilizing a discrete element method to resolve interactions and phenomenon at the floe-scale. Additionally, my research will implement asymptotic techniques to explore the coupling of interactions between the disparate length scales exhibited by sea ice.

Fluid Dynamics
I used asymptotic theory to explain the origin and self-sustenance of quasi-coherent flow structures in the inertial region of the turbulent boundary. The theory involves a mixture of matched-asymptotic and WKBJ analysis to systematically simplify the Navier-Stokes equations.

I am interested in sea ice-ocean interactions and floe-scale sea ice modeling in ocean turbulence. Our approach is to gain fundamental knowledge by reducing complex phenomena to their driving mechanisms and developing mathematical models to quantify and predict their evolution.
