Sub‑Mesoscale Ocean Dynamics Experiment (S‑MODE) IOP2

Research Assistant (North Pacific ocean. April 7, 2023 - May 4, 2023)

  • R/V Sally Ride, 26 days at sea
  • Assist to deploy Lagrangian floats and APEX floats, convey underwater CTD (uCTD) transaction survey and collect water sample from CTD cast

Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Summer Program, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution

Student Attendant (virtual. June, 2020 - July, 2020)

  • Attended lectures given and discussions led by such scholars as John A. Whitehead, Joe Pedlosky, Pascale Garaud on a variety of topics, including instability, chaos, turbulence and mixing in and at GFD, stirring, mixing and swimming at GFD, confounding complexities in Rayleigh Bénard Convection

Coastal hydrodynamics field studies

Student Attendant (Skåne län, Sweden. November 2017 - December 2017)

  • Studied the severely corroded south coast of Skåne län in light of improper local human behavior and measured beach profile information by global positioning system equipment
  • Completed the following MATLAB assignments: 1) correcting wind speed data for different standing positions; and 2) calculating wave height and wave direction changes from deep sea waves to shallow sea breaker and designing proper caisson breakwater and rubble breakwater according to near‑shore wave data
