 ## About Me
-I'm a PhD candidate in the MIT-WHOI Joint Program, studying the physics of the deep ocean (> 2000 meters) using models and observations. My research focuses on how human-driven warming affects the deep ocean and what that means for its role in storing heat and carbon. Before starting my PhD, I earned a B.S. in Mathematics and Data Science from the University of California, Irvine.  
+I'm a PhD candidate in the MIT-WHOI Joint Program, studying the physics of the deep ocean (> 2000 meters) using models and observations. My research focuses on how human-driven warming affects the deep ocean and what that means for its role in storing heat and carbon. Broadly speaking, I am interested in any projects that involve combining data and models (e.g., state estimation or data assimilation) to improve our understanding of the climate system.
