I am a physical oceanographer and use instruments at sea including gliders, floats, and ship-based instruments (such as Underway CTD) to study internal waves and tides and upper ocean processes in the open ocean and coastal ocean. 

Recently I used an array of floats to study the generation, propagation, and dissipation of near-inertial internal waves generated by a tropical cyclone. 

I have a B.Sc.Eng. in Engineering Physics from Queen’s University, an M.Sc. in Physics from the University of British Columbia, and a Ph.D. in Oceanography from the University of Hawaii.
