BIO

PhD researcher in the Earth Science and Engineering Department and the Zoological Society of London. Supervised by Mark Sutton, Yves Plancherel, and Catherine Head.

Investigating the research question "Leveraging emerging numerical models from engineering to support coral reef conservation". Using Computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to investigate the microhydrodynamics of tropical stony corals. The research hopes to better understand how propagation instruments affect the sheer stress and sediment loading experineced by propagated corals, as well as effect on feeding and larval dispersing mechanisms.
