About me

I am an early-career physical oceanographer with a keen interest in ocean physics and the numerical modelling of ocean circulation. My research has largely centred on internal waves — exploring how they form, propagate, and dissipate in the ocean. I also have a growing interest in boundary currents and mesoscale eddies, which I approach through a combination of numerical modelling and observations. I currently work as a scientist at the CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography in Goa, India.
