Welcome to my website!

I’m a Geophysicist at the Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences at Boston College. I pursue interdisciplinary research to understand how fluid-rock interactions govern deformation and hazard at active fault zones and volcanoes. My research integrates experiments, field observations, and modeling methods to trace this question from laboratory-scale rock properties to observational-scale geophysical and geodetic signatures, advancing our understanding of Solid-Earth processes across spatial scales and their application to hazard assessment.
