I am a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Geosciences, Princeton University (supervisor: Laure Resplandy) to analyze and inform differences between models and observations in dissolved oxygen and inorganic carbon in the ocean.
I finished my PhD in physical oceanography in 2025 from the Climate and Fluid Physics group (supervisor: Andy Hogg), Research School of Earth Sciences, Australian National University. I used numerical models to understand better the interplay between winds and surface heat fluxes in driving large-scale ocean circulation, with an emphasis on gyres.
I obtained a Bachelors of Technology (with honours) degree in Ocean Engineering and Naval Architecture from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India in Aug 2020. For my honours project, I parallelised a finite-element based solver to estimate cyclone inundation in coastal regions.
