I am a physicist in the process of transitioning fields from string theory to oceanography. While the two disciplines may at first seem to be a world apart, I am fascinated by the way that both string theory and oceanography describe enormous, unintuitive structures that govern the conditions of our human lives. Beyond my natural interest in the subject, I am motivated to action by the looming threats engendered by anthropogenic global warming. I intend to contribute to a powerful societal response to climate change by furthering our understanding of how the ocean interacts with Earth’s climate.
