My research interests lay at the boundary between ocean physics and biogeochemistry. My work combines the use of both models and observations to study biophysical interactions from the sub-mesoscale to the basin scale. I'm particularly interested in the study of the organic carbon, nutrients and oxygen cycles, physical drivers of ecosystem variability, upwelling systems dynamics and climate change feedbacks.

I'm currently involved in a variety of projects such as NERC BioCarbon's PARTITRICS project, as well as NERC projects AtlantiS and ReBELS.

My MSc background is in Physics of Complex Systems. My PhD is in environmental sciences (ETH-Zurich) with a PhD thesis on the mesoscale drivers of the lateral transport of organic carbon from the coast of the Canary Upwelling System to the open North Atlantic. As a postdoc, I worked at the University of Exeter on modelling changes in the ocean nutrient and redox state due to the evolution of the biological pump at the Proterozoic-Paleozoic transition. I joined NOC in the group of Steph Henson initially under my own SNSF-funded postdoc project "The influence of mesoscale activity on organic carbon export fluxes: bridging models and observations". Since then, I've been involved in a variety of projects such as GOCART, SUMMER and COMICS combining models with autonomous, ship and satellite data. I participated to fieldwork activities at PAP and within project ReBELS, and contributed to the planning of autonomous surveys with TechOceanS. I've been widely involved in the organisation of conference sessions and seminars, including the international EBUS Webinars project. At NOC, I've co-organized the OBG-MSM seminars.
