nicholson boom-lab Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution

Ellen joined the BOOMLAB in 2020, and she is a PhD candidate in chemical oceanography in the MIT-WHOI Joint Program. Broadly, her research uses Biogeochemical Argo (BGC-Argo) floats to better understand carbon and oxygen cycling.

More specifically, her thesis work explores:

Ellen’s research also leverages the power of machine learning to help maximize the utility of observational datasets.

Before pursing her doctorate degree, Ellen completed her undergraduate degree at Cornell University (2020), where she received a B.S. in chemical engineering and a B.S. in earth and atmospheric sciences.
