About

I'm a senior research engineer at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, where I develop autonomous underwater vehicles and oceanographic systems.

My current work focuses on data-driven methods and engineering for ocean systems:

  • Developing deep learning models for coastal forecasting that downscale global model outputs into high-resolution local predictions using transfer learning and residual correction methods trained on decades of instrument data.
  • Developing low-cost sensor systems that enable dense coastal observation networks with analysis-ready, enhanced data products for ML-driven forecasting.

I studied Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering at the University of Michigan.
