About

Dedicated Physical Oceanographer with Expertise in Data Analysis I am a dedicated physical oceanographer with a strong background in data analysis. I have a proven track record in researching the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems, particularly tuna fisheries. I am proficient in data analysis and synthesis using MATLAB and Python, and can effectively interpret and analyze ocean and fisheries data. I am passionate about making a difference in the world and am committed to fighting climate change and promoting sustainable, climate-resilient development. My research interests include pelagic fisheries, the Northwest Pacific upper ocean current system, and ocean volume transport. I strive to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in these areas. In addition to my research experience, I have taught courses in physical oceanography, observing and understanding natural hazards, and computational science. I have also given lectures on computational science and undergraduate research, focusing on the missing semester of CS education. I am eager to collaborate with like-minded professionals and organizations to drive positive change in the field of physical oceanography. If you would like to explore potential opportunities or discuss how my skills align with your organization's goals, please feel free to contact me.
