Summary

---

Welcome! I’m an observational seismologist and PhD student at Caltech working under the advisement of Zach Ross and Zhongwen Zhan. My research incorporates techniques from applied mathematics and new instrumentation to better understand crustal structures and earthquake source processes. When I’m not looking at wiggle plots, I can be found playing with my puppy or losing at backgammon. For my complete publication record, please visit my Google Scholar page. Also, check out some of the software on my Github page.
