I am a fifth year PhD student, working with Prof. Paul Segall in the Geophysics Department. My research aims at better understanding earthquake physics, through the combination of data analysis and numerical modeling. Passionate about Earth sciences, my work is part of the current effort in developing new tools to improve earthquake hazard assessment, and, more broadly, resiliency to natural disasters.

My current work focuses on the Cascadia region, as I try to better constrain the size of "the really big one", the large earthquake that threatens the Pacific Northwest. I combine geodetic and numerical tools to understand how much strain is currently accumulating along the plate interface, and whether Episodic Tremor and Slip (ETS) events directly influence the occurrence of subduction megaquake.

As part of my second project with Prof. Eric Dunham, I work on addressing rupture complexity, in particular supershear transition, on rough faults.
