About Me


I'm a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. My research combines novel observing platforms with modern data analysis methods to study the ocean and atmosphere. My current projects include the use of air-deployed wave buoys and profiling floats 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.
