PhD Candidate

I am a PhD student at the Climate and Fluid Physics group. My research focusses on understanding the various drivers of large-scale ocean circulation with an emphasis on ocean gyres. Gyres are swirling currents in ocean basis and are responsible for carrying heat, transport and nutrients around the globe.

I enjoy reading books, travelling and going out on hikes.
