About
Bio/Description

Paul is a postdoctoral fellow with the High Meadows Environmental Institute at Princeton University. He received his PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Stanford University in 2023, where he studied turbulent mixing in density stratified environments using numerical simulations to improve how these processes are incorporated in global ocean and climate models. He currently studies the interactions between ocean currents and offshore seaweed farming platforms to characterize the mixing processes that influence the carbon storage potential of these platforms.
