Discipline: Chemical Oceanography

Institution: WHOI

Research Overview:

My lab aims to understand and quantify the impact of marine microbial and biogeochemical processes on the ocean carbon cycle and Earth’s climate system. We develop mechanistic biogeochemical models of varying complexity, integrating observational data and artificial intelligence/machine learning. Current research focuses on how microbial-biogeochemical interactions impact air-sea carbon flux, developing multi-scale models that combine microbial metabolic and ecological processes, and evaluating the benefits and risks of marine carbon dioxide removal approaches, especially ocean alkalinity enhancement.

Interests: Biogeochemical modeling, Artificial intelligence/machine learning, Marine carbon dioxide removal  

Interests: Biogeochemistry, Data science, Ecology & ecosystem modeling
