- Summary: My research focuses on polar and mid-latitude ocean circulations with the aim of understanding the response of the climate system to climate variability and climate change. In particular, I am interested in eddy-mean flow interactions in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current using geophysical fluid dynamics theories, numerical simulations, and data analysis. I am also interested in the application of mathematical physics to problems in atmospheric and oceanographic sciences.
- Keywords: Antarctic Circumpolar Current, eddy-mean flow interaction, Kuroshio Extension, nonlinear phenomena
