Greetings!

I’m Ben Mayersohn – proud owner of benmayersohn.com. I’m a data scientist at Appfigures and a Ph.D student at NYU’s Center for Atmosphere Ocean Science (CAOS).

My doctoral advisor is Shafer Smith.

My research involves a combination of upper ocean biology and small scale ocean dynamics, and in particular the interplay between the two in organizing planktonic communities in the world’s seas and oceans.

Research Interests

• Mechanisms that lead to biodiversity in planktonic ecosystems
• Distinguishing between biological and physical contributions to ecosystem variability

Side Projects

• A companion mobile app (and website) for a free outdoor fitness group.
• A WordPress theme ideal for test preparation (but useful for anyone).
• A race photography/cheering blog for runners.
