I am broadly interested in polar ocean dynamics, particularly convection, and its role in global climactic changes like a weakening of the overturning circulation and sea ice loss.

In my PhD I’m working on understanding the role of convection in setting the surface structure of the Southern Ocean, mainly using MITgcm but also some observational and reanalysis data.

If you’re interested, you can check out my PhD proposal here.

My PhD is part of the EU-funded VERTEXSO project, led by Prof. Dr. Alexander Haumann at LMU Munich and the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI).

Professional(ish) interests:

• Numerical modelling (NEMO, MITgcm)
• (Sub)mesoscale fluid dynamics, especially w/r/t convection
• Sea ice and the high latitudes
• Some favourite related books:
  • The Sea Around Us by Rachel Carson
  • South by Ernest Shackleton
  • At the Mountains of Madness by H. P. Lovecraft

In early 2024, I finished my MSc in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences under the supervision of Dr. Paul Myers. Before getting into oceanography I studied Ocean and Naval Architectural Engineering.
