I am an oceanographer specializing in the effects of ocean surface waves on both the atmosphere and the ocean. I have strong expertise in numerical modeling and, over the past few years, have dedicated my efforts to developing the Atmosphere-Ocean-Wave coupled model, FIO-AOW. With this background, sometimes I feel like a modeler in a room full of oceanographers and an oceanographer in a room full of modelers—but I now see it as an opportunity to keep learning from both sides

My current research at Uppsala University aims to deepen our understanding of how ocean surface waves influence the atmospheric boundary layer. Specifically, I will focus on improving the representation of swell-induced momentum flux, wind stress, and wind misalignment within the air-wave coupled model. Through this work, I seek to provide fresh insights into the impact of ocean surface waves on offshore wind energy assessment.
