As an early career oceanographer, I bring four years of dedicated experience and a fervent research interest in air-sea interactions, turbulence dynamics, and the precise estimation of eddy covariance fluxes within marine boundary layers. Currently, engaged in pursuing my Ph.D., in the pursuit of a Ph.D., my focus lies on micrometeorological intricacies across the Bay of Bengal. In my research, I utilize state-of-the-art methodologies like eddy covariance and bulk flux estimations to study momentum flux/wind stress over the ocean. My expertise extends to proficiently utilizing diverse instrumentation for in-situ data acquisition, garnered from over 80 days of sea duty. Engaging in the full spectrum of research activities, from meticulous data collection through to rigorous analysis and subsequent publication, underscores my commitment to advancing our understanding of oceanic processes. Furthermore, I possess adeptness in numerical wave modeling, particularly through WaveWatchIII, further enhancing my capabilities in comprehensive oceanographic research.
