Cécile Le Dizès (Sep. 2022 - now) (Dipl. Ing. ISAE-Supaéro '22) is a doctoral student at the Institut de Mécanique des Fluides de Toulouse, supervised by Dr. Matthieu Mercier, Prof. Olivier Thual, and myself, albeit in an unofficial capacity. She is working three-dimensional radiation of internal tides by arbitrary topographies. |

Erin Atkinson (Sep. 2022 – now; erin.atkinson -at- mail.utoronto.ca) (Univ. Cambridge '22) is a PhD candidate in the Department of Physics at UofT. They are working on the role of ageostrophic instabilities in the process of ocean frontogenesis. |

Fabiola Trujano Jiménez (Sep. 2019 – now; ftrujano -at- physics.utoronto.ca) (Univ. Nacional Autónoma de México '19) is a PhD candidate in the department of physics at UofT. She is working on understanding sub-surface submesoscale instabilities. Work done in collaboration with Dr. Varvara E. Zemskova (Oregon State U.). |

Yasaman Yazdani (May 2024 - now; yasaman.yazdani -at- mail.utoronto.ca) completed her second year as a Physics Specialist with a Minor in Mathematics, here at UofT. A recipient of an NSERC USRA award, then a supervised reading course student, she investigates how ice cubes melt in water with various rotation rates and salinity values, in collaboration with Dr. Erica Rosenblum (U. Toronto) |
Nicolas Grisouard (he/him/his)

I received my Physics B.Sc. in 2005 from the École Normale Supérieure de Cachan (since renamed ENS Paris-Saclay), and my Ph.D. in Earth, Universe and Environment Sciences in 2010 from the Université de Grenoble (since renamed Université Grenoble Alpes). I then did post-docs at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences in New York City and Stanford University in the Bay Area, until joining the Dept. of Physics at the University of Toronto in 2015. I am primarily interested in fundamental dynamics of small-scale internal waves and internal tides, their interactions with balanced (in the general sense, not limited to geostrophy) flows, and ageostrophic instabilities of submesoscale flows. |
