I am a PhD candidate in the Environmental Fluid Mechanics (EFM) group within the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering. In my research, I use LiveOcean, a regional model of the Salish Sea and nearby coastal waters, to study the physical mechanisms that influence dissolved oxygen dynamics and marine carbon dioxide removal efficiency. I am grateful for the support of the PCC Graubard Fellowship during the last chapters of my PhD. Outside of research, I enjoy running, crafting, and hanging out with my cats– Kuroshio (Shio) and Tofu.
