On this page you find my science interests, like my Phd research, current research, and papers.

Phd research:

I conducted my PhD resreach at Royal NIOZ, the Netherlands, from 2002 to 2007 analyzing ferry-ADCP current and bathymetry data. I studied the tidal currents, subtidal currents, secondary currents, bedform migration (watch them migrate in the Marsdiep inlet!), and sediment transport in the Marsdiep inlet. My resreach is oulined in my thesis: Ferry-observed variability of currents and bedforms in the Marsdiep inlet and the research papers presented below.

Current research:

Currently I am working as a postdoctoral scholar at UC Los Angeles, at the department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, where I apply ROMS to study nonlinear internal tides, solitons, and bottom boundary layers on the shelf.
