Research Interests

His research interests include deep circulation, internal waves and ocean mixing, and ocean modelling. In recent years, I have been focused on studying deep circulation in the Mariana Trench, the world's deepest trench. This work has led to new insights into the water masses and circulation structures within the trench.
