I am an Assistant Research Professor at Northern Arizona University. On this site you can find
- publications and some pre-publication figures
- pictures from fieldwork
- pictures of the kids (I know, but I promise they are cute)
Come see me at AGU if you’ll be there! Tuesday, Dec 10th at 2:50 pm, T23D-05 - invited talk on cratonic crust and overthinking how to jointly invert receiver functions and surface waves.

Slides from the most recent talk I gave.
Here are my slides from the last AGU.
DI12A-02 - Evidence for the alignment of melt in the mantle beneath mid-ocean ridges from teleseismic shear-wave splitting - This one is about the actual Earth
NG22A-04: Accelerated transdimensional MCMC for differentiable problems with Riemann manifold based proposals - This one is numerical games.
