I’m an incoming Geophysics PhD student at Caltech. I’m excited by the development of tools to glean insights about the Earth from large datasets. I’m especially motivated by problems impacting society, such as mass movement hazards or sea level rise caused by glacial mass loss. When I’m not debugging code, I’m playing in the mountains.

EXPERIENCE

Research Assistant, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY Developed a ML model to detect & classify mass movements in seismic data.

Pathways Intern, United States Geologic Survey, Golden, CO Rewrote in Python (& optimized) earthquake location codes.

URISE Intern, Alberquerque, NM Developed new methods for processsing onshore-offshore seismic data for travel-time tomography studies.
