I work in coastal and ocean modeling, focusing on how physical and biogeochemical processes shape marine ecosystems. My work spans hydrodynamics, nutrient dynamics, and the ecological effects of offshore renewable energy systems, particularly floating solar. I have contributed to the development of coupled ocean–atmosphere–wave models and enjoy translating complex simulations into insights that support marine planning and climate adaptation. I work extensively with GETM-ERSEM-BFM, MIKE21, DualSPHysics, WRF, HYCOM, and WWIII. I value connecting science with real-world applications, and through my research, I aim to support sustainable ocean use and a deeper understanding of how emerging technologies interact with marine ecosystems.
