RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
Oregon State University, College of
Oceanic & Atmospheric Sciences
Post-doctoral Research Associate, Supervisor: Dr. Murray Levine, September 2006 – present
Development of numerical model to investigate the characteristics of the internal tide as part of NSF-sponsored program Internal Tide and Waves on the Oregon Continental Shelf.
Post-doctoral Research Associate, Supervisor: Dr. Ed Dever, August 2005 – August 2006
Continued application of Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) to study wind-forced coastal flows off northern California as part of NSF-sponsored Wind Events and Shelf Transport (WEST) Project.
Oregon State University, College of
Oceanic & Atmospheric Sciences
Graduate Research Assistant, Advisor: Dr. John S. Allen, September 1998 – December 2004
Application of ROMS to study wind-forced coastal flows off northern California as part of WEST Project. Conducted numerical modeling studies of upwelling and downwelling events off Duck, North Carolina using the Princeton Ocean Model (POM).
University of Michigan, Department
of Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering
Research Assistant, Supervisor: Dr. Guy Meadows, May 1996 – July 1998
Monitored beaches along coast of Lake Michigan for long-term
study of beach erosion and generated status reports for Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality. Assisted in related studies, including high-frequency radar setup
for Coastal Ocean Processes (CoOP) Episodic
Event/Great Lakes Experiment (EEGLE) and research conducted in Great Lakes and Gulf
of Maine using University of Michigan’s Remotely Operated Vehicle (M-ROVER).
Monterey Bay Aquarium Research
Institute (MBARI)
Summer Research Intern, Advisors: Todd Anderson and Dr. Francisco Chavez, May –
July 1997
Project:
Preliminary Observations of the 1997 El Niño Signals
off California
