My current research focuses on understanding the interactions between biological organisms and their fluid environment within a coral reef ecosystem following stressor events such as bleaching. Through modeling, acoustics, and machine learning, we can better understand natural processes that influence and aid in maintaining reef health and biodiversity. In pursuing research in coral acoustics, my hope is to build a stronger understanding of the physical mechanisms that influence the behavior of reef species within a reef’s ambient soundscape.
