Research Interests
My research focuses on the mechanics of sea ice and its role in climate and ecology. My approach is to develop reduced-order theoretical models that isolate the fundamental physical phenomena at play. I am currently interested in ice bridge formation in straits, which shares several similarities with the flow of dense granular media and yield stress fluids. I also enjoy thinking more generally about the role of fluid flow and elasticity in industrial, geophysical and biological systems.
