Degrees:

• PhD in Physical Oceanography, University of Oxford
• MSc and BSc in Environmental Science, Università degli Studi di Genova (Italy)

Awards

• Clarendon Scholar – Oxford DPhil

Research Interests

• Ocean Dynamics: I study the processes that regulate the global-scale ocean circulation, how different water masses are formed and how they move around the globe
• Global ocean observations: I work extensively with oceanographic data to climate change-driven changes in ocean circulation
• Ocean and climate: My research goal is to better understand how ocean circulation contributes to the regulation of the climate system, for example by uptaking carbon dioxide and excess heat from the atmosphere
