Biography

Annalisa Bracco is a Professor at the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. She holds a Ph.D. in Geophysics and Oceanography from the University of Genova, obtained in 2000, and a B.S. in Physics from the University of Torino, completed in 1995. Her research primarily focuses on ocean mesoscale dynamics, including the role of coherent structures in setting transport and mixing properties of passive and active tracers like floats and plankton. Bracco is also interested in the vertical mixing at mesoscales and the role of climate variability on ocean behavior at interannual and decadal scales. She has been recognized for her contributions to the field with multiple awards such as the AMS Nicholas Fofonoff Award in 2011 and the NSF Student Young Scientist Award in 2001, alongside the Postdoctoral Scholar Award from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in 2000.
