Associate Research Professor
Bio
My research focuses on the investigation of marine particle dynamics, including their formation, abundance, settling characteristics, distribution and eventual fate. I employ digital imaging technologies and computerized sensors to collect the data needed to explore the particle transport from the shelf to the deep sea.
