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
I am a CIG post doc at UC Davis. My research focuses on earthquake cycles, with a focus on the interaction between interseismic processes and earthquakes. Processes I'm current working on include shear heating, grain size evolution, and flash heating.
