Sean is a postdoctoral research associate in oceanic blue carbon at Imperial College London. Prior to joining the group, he completed his PhD in physical oceanography at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the United States.
His research interests lie in the intersection between physical and biogeochemical systems of the global ocean, and how the deep ocean and its complex systems govern Earth’s climate over a wide range of timescales. To understand the complex interplay among physical circulation, biogeochemical interactions, and geological processes in the ocean, he uses a variety of numerical modelling techniques to make sense all sorts of puzzling observations. Currently, as part of the Horizon Europe funded SEA-Quester project, he is developing a new framework for combining physical circulation and ecosystem models to reveal the impact of changing climate on global oceanic carbon cycle.
