I am a geophysicist and geodesist interested in deformation related to faults, plate tectonics, geothermal energy, and hydrology. I will be starting as an assistant professor at the University of Colorado in January 2024. Before joining CU, I was a Mendenhall Postdoctoral Fellow at the U.S. Geological Survey in Moffett Field, CA, and I did my graduate work in the UC Berkeley Active Tectonics lab and the Berkeley Seismology Lab.

My interests are in tectonic deformation related to the earthquake cycle and the generation of seismicity. I use space-geodetic techniques (such as GPS and InSAR) and seismic datasets (such as characteristically repeating earthquakes) to understand these processes, including coseismic and interseismic deformation, aseismic creep, seasonal elastic loading, and induced seismicity. My research often focuses on regions in California, such as the San Francisco Bay Area, the Mendocino Triple Junction, and the Brawley Seismic Zone, but also includes other active areas around the world.
