Exciting news! We're transitioning to the Statewide California Earthquake Center. Our new website is under construction, but we'll continue using this website for SCEC business in the meantime. We're also archiving the Southern Center site to preserve its rich history. A new and improved platform is coming soon!
About Me
Publications
My research focuses on developing and applying new techniques to analyze large seismic datasets in order to better understand earthquake rupture processes and their links to earthquake hazards. I am broadly interested in making advances in field of earthquake science by leveraging concepts from big data and scientific machine learning alongside high-fidelity physical models.
