At the CSLC of NYUAD, my research work focuses on ocean dynamics in polar regions and interactions with ice shelves. I’m particularly interested in characterizing the oceanic circulation in polar areas at multiple scales and better understanding the mixing and diffusion processes and their temporal and spatial variability in Greenland Fjords and Antarctic ice shelves, located over the Amundsen, Weddell, and Ross sea, also the Antarctic peninsula. In all these areas I have been developed fieldwork on those areas to describe and characterize the ocean-glacier dynamics.

I got my Ph.D. working in strategies of processing and spectral analysis of seismic data, to study dynamic processes in physical oceanography; I received the dissertation awarded Cum Laude. I was working as a physical oceanographer at the Institute of Marine Science (ICM-CSIC) in Barcelona before joining NYUAD. Focus on mesoscale ocean dynamics, gathering data on observations of processes and structures as internal waves, instabilities, turbulence, and mixing with different kind of systems, as CTD, XCTD, XBT, ADCP, and Moorings among others; and the Multichannel Seismic (MCS) System, as a new oceanographic acoustic technique used in Seismic Oceanography (SO).
