I am a postdoctoral fellow at UC Berkeley working with the Koehl lab and the Environmental Fluid Mechanics group.  

I recieved my Ph.D. in physics form Harvard working in Howard Stone's group in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.  I also completed a postdoctoral fellowship at he University of Colorado at Boulder Department of Physics working in the Physics Education Research Group.  I studied student learning difficulties in and helped transform upper-division physics courses. 

In my fluid mechanics research I study liquid on solid splashing, the flow around the microorganism Vorticella, and the interaction of marine larvae with turbulence. In general, I am interested in the intersection between fluid mechanics and biology.
