Welcome to my website!

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences at Boston College. You can find me in person at Devlin Hall at Boston College.

As a Solid Earth scientist, I pursue interdisciplinary research to investigate and monitor the dynamic subsurface of high-risk active volcanoes, fault zones, and reservoirs of environmental and economic interest. My research integrates experiments, field observations, and modeling methods to advance our understanding of Solid-Earth processes at various spatial scales.

I enjoy teaching and welcome student-involvement in my research on various solid-earth geology and geophysics topics. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to collaborate for research, teaching, and related initiatives.
