Current Research Group
Currently, the Lozier Lab consists of a team of four scientists with a wide range of skills and experience. Learn more about each team member below.
Jiajia Chen, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Associate (12/2023)
Jiajia’s research interests include large-scale ocean circulation variability, water mass changes, and the effect of global warming. Her current research focuses on investigating heat, freshwater, and volume transports in the subpolar North Atlantic, as well as the impact of subpolar dynamics on the variability of the meridional overturning circulation and the mechanisms governing this variability.
Verónica Caínzos, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Associate (11/2023)
Verónica’s main interests are the variability of large-scale ocean circulation and the fate of biogeochemical variables in relation to major ocean currents. Her current research focuses on the transfer of nutrients between the subtropical and subpolar North Atlantic, as well as the evolution of dissolved oxygen in the North Atlantic.
Anne-Sophie Fortin
Research Associate (09/2021)
Anne-Sophie’s research interests are climate variability and large-scale ocean circulation. Her current research focuses on the circulation and propagation of property anomalies in the North Atlantic.

ResearchGate Profile
Haipeng Zhao, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Associate (1/2025)
Haipeng’s current research focuses on contemporary trends in global ocean mixed layer depth and stratification and their relationships to primary production. He uses multiple data sources from in situ, satellites, and model outputs. In addition to studying the interactions between ocean physical and biological processes, his research interests include applying AI techniques for data imputation and assessing the efficacy of ocean-based carbon removal strategies.
