Sohail Ansari

I am Sohail Ansari, a dedicated Ph.D. scholar at Texas A&M University in the Department of Ocean Engineering, with a focus on Atmospheric and Ocean Sciences. My research emphasizes air-sea interactions and their influence on climate, particularly through hurricane prediction using advanced numerical models. Additionally, I am passionate about assessing renewable energy sources, including wind and wave energy, and exploring their future potential. With a strong commitment to advancing scientific research, I aim to contribute to innovative solutions in ocean engineering and climate science.
