Jood Almokharrak (Leg 2)
Hello! My name is Jood Almokharrak, and I am a rising senior studying Oceanography at the University of Washington. As a motivated APL DINO SIP intern specializing in physical and technical oceanography, I am eager to expand my field experiences through research, with a strong emphasis on ocean technology and data analysis, integrated with both laboratory work and sea expeditions. Participating in the VISIONS’24 expedition perfectly aligns with my current developmental interests and future aspirations of working aboard research vessels and utilizing ocean technology in extreme environments. I am excited to embark on this journey, learn more about the Regional Cabled Array, and meet everyone aboard!
