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.

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
