About Me:

I am a graduate student at UC Berkeley working under the supervision of Michael Manga. My current research interests lie in tectonic processes on icy moons in the outer solar system, specifically the use of damage/localization models to explain surface features that have puzzled planetary scientists for more than two decades. Closer to home, I am interested in the response of mud volcanoes to earthquakes and have ongoing projects focused on trying to understand the processes occurring at the Lusi mud volcano in East Java, Indonesia and at various mud volcanoes along the San Andreas Fault.
