\nWoods Hole Oceanographic Institution
\nWoods Hole, MA 02543\n\tResearch Interests<\/h3>\nMy research focuses on physical and biological processes in coastal oceans, including interactions of coastal flow features with topography and with processes in estuaries and the open ocean. I combine field observations, numerical ocean models, and AI\/ML methods to improve the understanding of coastal ocean systems and the impact of natural and anthropogenic forces on the coastal environments that are directly connected to the well-being of our society. My research interests cover a broad range of topics in oceanography, including:\n
