[Old News]- Nov. 20, 2024 — I'll be at AGU24 in Washington D.C. this December presenting a poster on our Venus simulation work (12/12/24 at poster S43C-3456).
- Aug. 8, 2024 — Myself and colleagues at UAF and UAA have been awarded a 3-year NASA EPSCoR project to estimate ground motion and wind noise to help inform specifications for a potential Venus lander mission.
About Me
I am an assistant professor of seismology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, within the Geophysical Institute and Department of Geosciences. As a seismologist, I spend my days looking at wiggles on a screen.
These wiggles correspond to waves bouncing through the Earth or traveling along its surface,
generated by things like earthquakes, explosions, surface processes (e.g., oceans, wind, landslides, glaciers), or people.
I am particularly interested in using seismology to: understand Earth structure, characterize unique sources, get out in the field, and provide resources to make science more accessible to all. Have a look at my research page for more details on things I work on. Prospective students interested in working with me on these topics are welcome to check out the students page for information on open opportunities. I will begin teaching in Spring semester, 2025.
In my free time, you might find me outside on rocks, ice, snow, and rivers.
