Meet the team

As a new faculty member, my research team is small but growing. I am looking to add capable graduate and undergraduate students to my research team.

Current students

  • Spencer Larsen, M.S. student (2022) Spencer will join us in August of 2020 and will be working as part of the Cascadia 2020 NSF funded project. He will have the opportunity to help deploy hundreds of seismic instruments in Cascadia in the summer of 2021.

Previous students

  • Hannah Duncan, B.S. student (2019) Hannah worked with my group for her senior research project. In addition to working on imaging the Denali fault using a large array of nodal seismometers deployed by Dr. Amir Allam at the University of Utah, she had the opportunity to help deploy hundreds of seismic instruments in Alaska this spring (2019).

Prospective students

Prospective students interested in research related to geophysics and seismology can contact me for future research projects and support opportunities.
