About Me
The processes that drive deformation in the Earth and their influence on surface processes fascinate me. That is why I have made it both my field of study and my professional emphasis. I am currently studying fluid and rock mechanics with an emphasis in volcanic and earthquake processes at the University of California Berkeley. I enjoy studying the world around me and I am currently leading multiple research projects. These include research on (1) shallow volcanism near Mono Lake, California, (2) the formation of fault damage zones by dynamic loading during earthquakes, (3) magma ascent in unstable volcanoes, (4) applications of UAVs (drones) to map volcaniclastic deposits, (5) deformation in sandstone during impact cratering, and (6) investigating how structures of large landslides control groundwater flow. All of these projects have something in common: crustal deformation and fluid flow. I also enjoy spending time with family, being in the outdoors, traveling, and learning all I can about the world.
