I am a structural geologist who uses field and laboratory techniques to learn how deformation, metamorphism and fluid-rock interactions modulate crustal dynamics. My work spans vast spatial and temporal scales to understand how transient grain-scale processes influence crustal evolution over tectonic timescales.
I am currently an NSF Earth Sciences Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Washington where I am studying the geological mechanisms of slow earthquakes in continental fault systems.
