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.
