Victoria is a Physical Oceanography PhD student in the Petrik and Giddings research groups studying physical processes influencing biogeochemistry in estuarine and coastal regions, particularly in Southern California. She received her B.S. in Biological Physics from Georgetown University in 2022. Past research topics includes chlorophyll distributions within eddies in the California Current System from a biogeochemical ROMS model; impacts to primary productivity through mixing from offshore wind turbines in the North Sea through a turbulence-resolving LES simulation; and metrics for quantitatively monitoring, verifying, and reporting on carbon sequestration from marine carbon dioxide removal projects in ocean models. Her overarching research interests include submesoscale-to-mesoscale ocean dynamics, coupled physical and biogeochemical modeling, simulating coastal biophysical interactions, and climate change impacts to these processes. A goal of her research is to understand physical mechanisms that influence ecological communities and natural resources to inform decision-making for conservation and management.
