Personal profile

Biography

I am a PhD student at UWA's Oceans Institute, where I focus on inferring fine-scale near-surface ocean currents from satellite measurements. The developed techniques are applied to the Australian North-West Shelf but can be modified to be applied globally. It is anticipated that this study will aid offshore oil and gas operations, pollution responses, and be of use in a variety of other applications.
