I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Geosciences at Princeton
University. I recently finished my PhD in the School of Oceanography at the University
of Washington, where I was advised by Professor Curtis Deutsch.
I am interested in the interconnections between climate, ocean O2 and the spatial and
temporal patterns of marine biodiversity and ecosystem function throughout Earth history
and in the present-day. I develop and apply mathematical models of species
ecophysiology, marine ecosystems, and ocean biogeochemistry combined with
simulations of the climate system. Throughout my work, I strive to constrain and test these
models against experimental and field data from climatic, biological, and paleontological
sources. Such work is relevant now more than ever, as anthropogenic climate warming
risks oxygen depletion of the ocean, threatening global marine productivity and diverse
sea life.
In my free time, I enjoy searching for tasty waves to surf, concrete curbs to skate, and
wild mushrooms to forage
