Battle within battle must be continually recurring with varying success. – Charles Darwin

I’m a marine biogeochemical modeler and biological oceanographer. I am passionate about understanding the interactions between the ocean’s physical variability and the marine ecosystems responses at different scales.

My work relies in developing and applying numerical models to diagnose variability in climate-relevant systems across regional and global scales. I combine large observational datasets (satellite, in situ, reanalysis) with statistical and optimization techniques to reduce model uncertainty.

I am also passionate about visualization and color, both in science and art. Outside of the office, I enjoy nature, painting and literary writing.
