Graduate Research Assistant
Horn Point Laboratory
Bio
My current research at UC Santa Barbara (rli1996@ucsb.edu) focuses on biological carbon pump, global ocean CO2 flux, ocean circulation, and inverse model. During my Ph.D. at Horn Point Lab, I studied internal waves in coastal plain estuaries as well as ocean acidification and harmful algae bloom in Chesapeake Bay.
