Alex is a postdoctoral researcher developing oceanographic instrumentation, observation strategies, and numerical simulations that investigate the efficacy and environmental impact of novel marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) and deep-seabed mining technologies. His current projects include instrumentation to measure in-situ particle size and settling velocity of suspended sediment and precipitants, low-cost and modular autonomous surface vehicles to monitor near-field mCDR interventions, and high-resolution numerical simulations to model ocean surface boundary layer turbulence and air-sea fluxes. Alex is passionate about decarbonization and the transition to a green economy.
