I joined Department
of Geology and Geophysics at Yale in July of 2004, where I now lead
Ocean and Climate Dynamics group. Just recently, I have been awarded a
5-year Packard
Fellowship in Science and Engineering from the David and
Lucile Packard Foundation to study the effect of global warming (and
past climate changes) on El Nino.
I spent the summer of 2007 at the Laboratoire D'Oceanographie Et Du Climat Experimentations Et Approches Numeriques (LOCEAN) of the L'Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace (IPSL) in Paris, working on the energetics of coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation models (GCMs) and other problems. That research was funded in part by CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research - the French equivalent of NSF). Before Yale, from 1998 to 2004, I worked at Princeton University and GFDL (Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Lab) as a research scientist. In particular, I collaborated with Professor George Philander. My research at Princeton included El Nino predictability and decadal climate variability, oceanic general circulation and thermal structure, global warming and climate modeling, as well as the mechanisms of the Ice Ages. My Ph.D. thesis (1997) at Scripps Institution of Oceanography of the University of California San Diego considered the nonlinear dynamics of surface and internal waves in the ocean. |
