My research aims to improve the estimation of key physical properties of the ocean—such as sea surface elevation, wind-waves, currents, and temperature—over operational timescales ranging from hours to days. These properties are critical for a wide range of activities within marine and coastal environments. While prediction and monitoring systems perform adequately in deeper waters, their effectiveness diminishes in shallow waters due to increased physical complexity. By integrating numerical models with in-situ measurements and remote sensing data, I seek to enhance our ability to detect, analyze, and better understand the dynamic processes occurring in coastal regions.
