Expertise

My scientific interest includes air-sea interaction in hurricanes over oceanic mesoscale eddies, near-inertial wave propagation in geostrophic flow, dynamics of the Gulf of Mexico ― including the Loop Current and warm and cold core eddies―, and eddy-mean flow interaction in the ocean, from observational, theoretical, and numerical modeling perspectives.


  • Air-sea interactions in tropical cyclones over oceanic geostrophic flow.
  • Mixed layer cooling in mesoscale oceanic eddies during hurricane passage.
  • Near-inertial oscillations in geostrophic flow.
  • Dynamics of the Gulf of Mexico and Loop Current.
  • Eddy-mean flow interaction in the ocean.
