Maria Di Paolo

I am a 4th year PhD student, working on the project "Ocean circulations and exoplanet climates". Before joining UEA I did a Master of Astrophysics and Cosmology at the University of Trieste (Italy) and a Bachelor of Physics at University of Padua (Italy).

I am currently investigating the effects of fundamental oceanic properties on planetary climate using a coupled atmosphere-ocean global circulation model. More specifically, my project focuses on examining how both tidal mixing and spin-orbit resonances can impact planetary climate and affect the interpretation of future observations.
