 About Me

I am an ocean scientist interested in interactions between ocean and ice systems around Antarctica, the dynamics of the Southern Ocean and Antarctica’s marginal seas, and the influence of Southern Ocean processes on global climate and sea-level. I study the Southern Ocean using a combination of observations and state-of-the-art simulations. Currently (as of late 2023), I’m a 4th year Graduate Student in Caltech’s Environmental Science and Engineering program in Pasadena, California. I previously completed a Bachelor of Philosophy (Science) with 1st Class Honours and the University Medal from the Australian National University (2019), followed by an 8-month research placement at Princeton University’s Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences program under the SOCCOM project (2020). My graduate studies have been supported by the General Sir John Monash Foundation.
