I am a fifth year Ph.D. candidate in the MIT-WHOI Joint Program in Physical Oceanography. Working in PV lab and advised by Dr. Britt Raubenheimer and Dr. Steve Elgar. I am currently studying cross shore transport dynamics across surfzone, including breaking wave driven roller, undertow, and eddies. For my research, I work with several numerical platforms, such as OpenFOAM and Dedalus, as well as in-situ data.

Prior to attending the Joint Program, I earned Bachelor of Arts degree in physics at Cornell University with Magna Cum Laude. During my undergraduate, I focus on studying theoretical fluid dynamics, numerical modeling, and applied mathematics.

I am motivated in teaching and outreach. I was an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant at Cornell physics department and I took Teaching and Learning Physics class to gain more insight on teaching. For outreach, I am a member of Society of Physics Students and I organized several physics demo program at local middle and high schools. I also gave several seminars on oceanography at middle schools in China, as well as serving as a mentor on several online platforms.
