Geophysicist, R&D Staff

I am a Geophysicist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where I apply my expertise to deepen our understanding of the Earth’s subsurface. I hold a Ph.D. in Geosciences, complemented by a Minor in Computational Science from Penn State University. My research is fueled by a passion for integrating innovative geophysical techniques with advanced computational methods. Utilizing machine learning and high-performance computing, I aim to uncover new insights into seismic wave behavior and the geological processes that shape our planet. Additionally, I have extensive experience in seismic and acoustic monitoring, focusing on both industrial and environmental applications.
