This is the beautiful Newfoundland -- an amazing place where I had the privilege to study as an undergrad student. We were doing geophysics field surveys. (Left: Jacob Newman; middle: me; right: Prof. Chuck Hurich)

I am right now a seismologist doing postdoctoral research at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.

My research interests are

  • Source characterization for small to moderate earthquakes.
  • Near-surface structure.
  • Ambient noise seismology.
  • Fiber-optic seismology.
  • Applications in reservoir and fault monitoring, geothermal exploration, and carbon storage.

In my free time, I like paddling, sailing on the Charles River, and rollerblading along the riverside.
