About Me


I'm a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. My research centers around the use and development of novel observing platforms which I combine with modern data analysis methods to do science at the interface of the ocean and atmosphere. My current projects include the use of air-deployed wave buoys for hurricane forecast improvements with the Air-Deployed Profiling Instruments Group and the development of data-driven methods for wave measurement from submarine fiber optic cables with the Smith Lab. I completed my Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Washington where I was a member of the Environmental Fluid Mechanics group and a researcher at the Applied Physics Lab. My dissertation work was focused on developing new approaches to observing waves in hurricanes and sea ice.

Previously, I earned bachelor's and master's degrees in mechanical engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. As a graduate student, I was a founding member of the Ocean Resources and Renewable Energy Lab where I co-led the engineering of the group's wave-current flume and conducted research on wave energy conversion.
