Personal profile
Biography
I aim to support all technical aspects of collecting the data needed for coastal and ocean research, and to understand how it is then interepeted to gain new insight.
Roles and responsibilities
I work at the Great Southern Marine Research Facility in Albany W.A. as a technician with Dr. Ryan Lowe and Dr. Jeff Hansen. My primary role is working with near coastal wavebuoys around Australia, funded through the IMOS new technology proving program. I also work collecting nearshore hydrodynamic and morphological data with a variety of instruments.
