About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Australian National University and the Australian Centre for Excellence in Antarctic Science (ACEAS).
Research interests
The focus of my research is the large-scale ocean circulation and its effect on climate, with particular focus on the following topics: polar climate, past and future changes in the large-scale ocean circulation, and interactions between sea ice and bottom and deep water formation. To understand these ocean processes I use models of different complexities and resolutions, ranging from Earth System Models of Intermediate Complexity to high resolution ocean models.
