Research Interests:

  I am interested to explore the physics of the upper ocean and coastal regions, i.e., Physical Oceanography, which includes, Tides and Coastal Hydrodynamics, Sub-Mesoscale and Mesoscale Eddy Dynamics, Upper Ocean Processes, Oceanic Response to Tropical Cyclones, and Marine Heatwaves, mostly utilizing in situ observations (HF Radars, Tide Gauges, Moored Buoys, Drifters, Argo Floats, etc.) and remote sensed satellite datasets
