Hi there! I am a postdoctoral research at the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory.

Active Research Interests

My research interests have focused on a variety of techniques to improve our understanding of earthquake source processes through the merging of both submarine and terrestrial datasets. I have a particular interest in studying tsunamigenic events because of their large scale impact on communities on an ocean basin scale.

Earthquake Early Warning

The ShakeAlert EEW system rapidly locates and characterizes earthquakes using real time data from broadband and strong-motion seismometers. Within seconds of an earthquake rupture, alerts can be sent to users warning of potential shaking, often before the arrival of the more damaging S-wave. These alerts are crucial for people in areas where potentially damaging shaking can ocur, allowing for proactive action to mitigate risk.
