Welcome!
I am a tectonic geologist interested in understanding active tectonic processes and associated hazards along plate boundaries by combining observations from the field and geodesy with geodynamic modeling.

Current Research Topics
  • Evaluating the seismic hazard along active faults within the Himalayan foreland
  • Disentangling superimposed signals of upper-plate deformation in the Cascadia forearc
  • Permanent and recoverable coastal uplift at subduction plate boundaries
  • ​How upper-plate strength contrasts control apparent coupling patterns
  • Stress evolution of upper-plate faults over the subduction earthquake cycle​
