Research Statement

I am currently involved in the Ocean Observatories Initiative Program, as a part of the Coastal/Global Scale Nodes (CGSN) Team. We deploy a number of moorings, gliders, and AUVs in open ocean and coastal regions to collect long-term measurements.  I work in areas related to Systems Engineering, Instrumentation, Configuration Management, and Data Availability and Quality.

Research Interests

Development of in situ instrumentation for making geochemical measurements in the deep ocean (particularly at hydrothermal vent sites); primarily interested in optical techniques such as Raman spectroscopy.
