Subject Area
Marine and Coastal Engineering
Physical Oceanography
Activities
I am a coastal and ocean numerical modeller with over 10 years' experience in both industry and research contexts. Industry experience includes hydrodynamic modelling of coastal and ocean processes, wave modelling, dispersion modelling of discharges into the marine environment (e.g. outfalls, dredge plumes and oil spills), tropical cyclone modelling, coastal flooding risk assessments and sediment transport modelling. My recently completed PhD used models to study the influence of the land-sea breeze on the dynamics of coastal upwelling systems, while my current postdoc position is aimed at understanding the biological response to these small scale and high frequency coastal processes. I am particularly interested in the development of operational coastal forecast systems, and hope to pursue this interest in future.
