I am geochemist, chemical oceanographer and my research focuses on the application of radioisotopes to study the marine and environmental processes. Currently, I am Center for Marine and Environmental Radioactivity Postdoctoral Scholar at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. As a postdoctoral scholar my research is focused on biological pump and particle dynamics in EXPORTS Research Expedition and Ocean Twilight Zone project.

I completed my PhD in the Department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA. My dissertation is titled “Evaluating Biological Carbon Pump Across Continental Margins Undergoing Accelerated Climatic Changes“.

My research interests are Biological carbon pump and particle dynamics, utilization of artificial and natural radioisotopes to study environmental process, sediment geochemistry and chemical processes at sediment-water interface, climate change and Carbon dioxide Removal and Sequestration.
