Sina Pinter is a PhD candidate in Physical Oceanography at the University of Western Australia. Her research focuses on marine heatwaves off the coast of Western Australia, combining long-term ocean observation data, satellite observations and ocean and climate reanalysis data to understand how these extreme events develop, persist and affect the coastal ocean. She is particularly interested in the subsurface expression of marine heatwaves and their ecosystem impacts.

Sina holds a Master of Science in Integrated Climate System Sciences and a Bachelor of Science in Oceanography, both from the University of Hamburg.

Beyond her research, Sina is passionate about science communication and making ocean and climate science accessible and exciting to the public. She contributes to science outreach in various creative formats, including media engagement and science comedy, to bring her research to broader audiences. Sina is also a strong advocate for women in STEM, and is committed to inspiring the next generation of young scientists to feel curious about, and connected to, our changing oceans and climate.
