Dr. Nicole Shibley

I am broadly interested in fluid dynamics as they pertain to environmental and climate processes. My current research investigates heat-transport processes in the Arctic Ocean, as well as ice-ocean dynamics on ice-covered moons in the Solar System. The ventilation of buildings is also of interest, in particular how fluid dynamics may be used to develop more sustainable buildings with cleaner air.

As a postdoctoral fellow at the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science, I have collaborated with individuals in many fields, ranging from Astrophysics to Geosciences to Engineering. In the fall of 2024, I will join the University of Cambridge as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, jointly with the Department of Earth Sciences.
