Graduate Student

Background

I am a fifth-year graduate student studying Seismology at Harvard University. My research is focused on investigating the global attenuation structure of the upper mantle using surface waves.

Educational History

B.S, Geology-Physics/Math, magna cum laude, Brown University, 2000
Ph.D., Geophysics, Harvard University, 2007 (anticipated)
