I’m an first-year geophysics PhD student at Caltech. My current projects are:

– Constraining the bathymetry under Antarctic ice shelves from remote sensing observations of the ocean tides (advised by Prof. Brent Minchew)
– Applying hybrid seismic wavefield simulation to the study of localized deformation zones such as fault zones and the beds of landslides and glaciers (advised by Prof. Zhongwen Zhan)

When I’m not doing research, I like to hike, run, and bike in the mountains of Southern California.
