About

Post-doc at the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory, UC Berkeley, where I work on GPS and Earthquake Early Warning problems.

Current research:

• High-rate GPS in Earthquake Early Warning
• Volcanic plume signatures in GPS data

Past research:

• Simulation of crustal deformation due to surface loads, CrusDe
• The short term evolution of displacements during volcanic crises (Redoubt volcano, 2009)
• Volcanoes, surface loads, and style changes (Bezymianny volcano, Kamchatka)
