Biography

Craig is a physical oceanographer with a focus on environmental fluid mechanics in extreme environments. He holds a joint position as Associate Professor in Physics at the University of Auckland and is a Programme Leader in the Coasts and Oceans Centre. He uses novel observational techniques to make discoveries about how the ocean works - primarily around how turbulence, stratification and waves interact and how entities react/behave/exist in such fluid environments. He has been PI on four Marsden Fund projects, was the past Chair of the Aotearoa Wave and Tidal Energy Association as well as a past President of the NZ Association of Scientists and has a strong interest in promoting environmental physics to the public. He is PI on a seven-year Antarctic oceanography Project funded by the Antarctic Science Platform.
