Research goal:
To understand the physical conditions surrounding life early in the earth’s history, I am investigating the physical environments around planktonic organisms.
Research interests:
My research interests focus on examining the physical environment of phytoplankton and zooplankton from two different angles: 1) The effect of the physical environment at the individual planktonic scale (turbulence, diffusion, etc.) on the ecology and distribution of plankton. 2) The relationship between the physical environment and turbulence and other phenomena (internal waves, ocean currents, etc.). In addition, I am investigating the relationship between the distribution of larger organisms, such as fish, and the physical environment.
