About Me

Hi! Welcome to my page. I am a graduate student at Caltech Seismolab working under the mentorship of Mark Simons and Zach Ross. My research incorporates space geodesy and statistical methods on seismicity to understand geophysical processes associated with seismic cycles, aseismic deformation, and tectonic processes. In the past, I also work with Sigurjón Jónsson in KAUST on the crustal deformation of caldera collapses.
