   personal_statement: "I am a physical oceanographer who studies waves, hydrodynamics,\
     \ and transport processes in coral reef environments. I also have expertise\
     \ in internal waves and water-column dynamics. I use direct measurements to\
     \ answer questions about how physical processes -across a range of temporal\
     \ and spatial scales- affect coastal ecosystems, and to investigate how these\
     \ patterns might alter with climate change.Research InterestsWaves, hydrodynamics,\
     \ and transport processes in coral reef environmentsEffects of climate change\
     \ on coastal physical and biological processesCoastal ocean physical processes\
     \ and effects on nearshore ecosystemsInternal tides and nonlinear internal waves\
