Bio

I am an assistant professor at Colorado School of Mines jointly appointed in geophysics (60%) and applied math and statistics (40%). I am also an assistant professor on-leave at Virginia Tech in math and CMDA. I earned my PhD from the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME) at Stanford in 2018, where I was a member of the Stanford Exploration Project (SEP) group and an affiliate in the geophysics department at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (through 2020). I hold an MS in geophysics from Stanford, and a BS with a double-major in math and computational physics from UT-Austin.
