I’m a Ph.D. student researching ocean turbulent mixing beneath Antarctic sea ice. Turbulent mixing, characterized by chaotic water movement, plays an important role in redistributing heat, salinity, and nutrients in this region. Through multiple research cruises to Antarctica, I directly measure turbulent mixing using advanced techniques to explore its variability across different sea ice types and environmental conditions. My goal is to deepen our understanding of how turbulent mixing influences the physical dynamics at the ocean-sea ice interface, particularly within the context of changing polar climates and melting sea ice.

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.
