My wife and I at the Minnesota State Fair. My beard is much grayer since the kids arrived but I’m gonna leave this photo up.

About

Vita (updated 4/22/24), Google Scholar, Github

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)

Weird note - my most recent first-authored paper is not indexed on Google Scholar, and so can be hard to find. You can find it here.

A coauthored manuscript is also not indexed on Google Scholar; available here.

presentations

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.
