Overview
I am a PhD researcher in Physical Oceanography at the School of Ocean Sciences, Bangor University. My doctoral project is part of the international QUICCHE programme (QUantifying Interocean fluxes in the Cape Cauldron Hotspot of Eddy kinetic energy) and focuses on the long-term variability of the Agulhas Current and its influence on Agulhas leakage.
Through my research, I am developing expertise in working with ocean reanalysis data, applying Lagrangian transport models (OceanParcels), and analysing echosounder data. I have also gained valuable field experience during a one-month research cruise.
