Research interests
My research focuses on sea ice physics, variability and forecast. I also look at the interactions between sea ice and the other components of the climate system, with a particular interest on the Arctic region. I have expertise in both sea ice modelling and observations statistical analysis, as well as some experience in data assimilation. Here at NERSC, I initiated the development of the next generation sea ice model neXtSIM.
