I’m a polar oceanographer researching the hidden world under Antarctic sea ice. My work focuses on how the ocean mixes and transports heat, influencing sea ice, marine ecosystems, and our changing climate. By collecting measurements in one of the most remote environments on Earth, I hope to better understand the Southern Ocean and its role in the global climate system. I’m passionate about sharing the excitement of polar research and what it’s like to do science in Antarctica.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM
Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.
For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
