Short Bio

My research focuses on fundamental fluid mechanics with applications towards oceanography, biology, environmental contaminants, and renewable energy. Our lab uses a variety of tools including laboratory experiments, mathematical modeling, and field observations.

Before Princeton, I was an Assistant Professor in the Mechanical Engineering department at the University of Washington, a Postdoctoral Scholar at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and a graduate student at Stanford University’s Bob and Norma Street Environmental Fluid Mechanics Laboratory.
