I work within the Climate, Ocean and Sea Ice Modelling program (COSIM) at Los Alamos National
Laboratory (LANL), as a member of
the Continuum Dynamics (CCS-2)
group. My interests include high-resolution ocean modeling in which
the turbulent eddies are explicitly resolved, ocean modeling for
climate, and ocean model development.
