CV

Aditya's research experience to date has led him to explore a diverse range of subjects at the interface of experimental fluid dynamics and oceanography, including biophysical interactions, marine particle characterization, coastal processes, and small-scale turbulence. He is also specifically interested in designing underwater imaging instrumentation and/or applying laboratory flow/particle diagnostic techniques to facilitate in situ field measurements to address these research questions in a diverse range of aquatic environments. As a graduate student and then as a post-doc, he has participated in seven oceanographic cruises (two as acting Chief Scientist), in the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Northwest. Currently, as a co-PI on two active NSF grants, he is involved in developing a new generation holographic imaging system for long-term marine studies, as well as characterizing phytoplankton response and growth rates under different environmental conditions, including small-scale shear and ambient light. He has also served as a peer reviewer for NSF as well as several international journals.
