research interests


Now that I have attained my B.S. in Geology from USC, I have moved on to get my Geophysics doctoral at the "other USC" in one of the U.S.'s most densely populated sedimentary basins- Los Angeles.  Under the advisement of Dr. Thomas Jordan, I am conducting research on earthquake rupture distributions.  Another project of mine is contributing to the development of an earthquake early warning system for California.
