my CV
I
am currently a post-doc
working with Paul O'Gorman
in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
We are investigating the response of the hydrological cycle to
global warming, looking at changes in mean precipitation as well
as changes in rainfall extremes.
I received my PhD
in Mathematics from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at
New York University.
With my advisor Oliver
Bühler, we studied the instability
and dissipation of internal waves generated by the interaction
of tidal currents with deep-ocean topography.
Their dissipation through wave breaking
and concomitant three-dimensional turbulence contributes
to vertical mixing in the deep ocean, and hence could play
an important role in the large-scale
ocean circulation.
