Biography

William Edge is a physical oceanographer focused on developing methods to enhance the understanding of ocean processes. He completed his PhD thesis at the University of Western Australia in 2023, which centered on the analysis of complex noisy observation datasets and the application of data science techniques to infer physical characteristics of oceanic systems. Currently, he is engaged in post-doctoral research, analyzing complex multi-year, multi-mooring datasets to forecast currents along the Northwest shelf of Australia. His research interests lie at the intersection of observational platforms and innovative analytical approaches to deepen understanding of fundamental physical processes at play in the ocean. William's work on fine-scale surface currents has gained attention, particularly in refining observation techniques to tackle the challenges posed by the complex spatial and temporal dynamics of oceanic flows, including eddies and internal waves. Previously, he has also worked as a coastal engineer, contributing further to his research expertise. William is affiliated with the University of Western Australia and maintains active collaborations to advance research in oceanography.
