I am a multidisciplinary scientist (physics | meteorology & physical oceanography | marine affairs). I currently serve as the Senior Regional Maritime Specialist at the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and as a conjoint Senior Lecturer at the University of Newcastle, Australia. I am currently working on regional strategies for ports connectivity, maritime trade efficiency, and green ports and shipping in the Asia Pacific region. I am always interested in collaborative research, if you are curious, please get in touch.
