I am a PhD student in Mecanical Engineering in the Experimental Fluids Research Lab under PI Dr. Sarah Morris. My research uses laboratory experiments to study the fluid dynamics of ice melting and how icebergs change shape as they drift. My time outside of research is spent playing ultimate frisbee, mountain biking, and backcountry skiing.
