About Me

I am 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 (Fig. 1,2).
• Ambient noise seismology.
• Fiber-optic seismology (Fig. 3).
• Applications in reservoir and fault monitoring, geothermal exploration, and carbon storage.

In my free time, I like paddling (Fig. 4), sailing on the Charles River, and rollerblading along the riverside.
