Opportunities:
I am always looking for talented students and researchers to join my research team. To inquire about availability of undergraduate, graduate, or postdoctoral positions, or field internship opportunities, please contact me with your CV.
Research Interests:
Paleoseismology, structural geology, and geoscience education.
About me:
I am a structural geologist and a paleoseismologist who conducts field-oriented research to better understand how continents deform over a range of timescales, from decades to tens of millions of years. In my research, I investigate the times and magnitudes of past earthquakes along faults that affect people, how earthquakes change the topography and how strain is distributed across wide shear zones. I am passionate about my teaching, and motivated to train the next generation of field-oriented earth scientists. But more importantly, I am committed to preparing my students to be hardworking, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners regardless of their career aspirations.
