My primary research tools include high-resolution multibeam bathymetry, CHIRP sub-bottom profiling, seafloor sediment coring and dimensional analysis to identify buried geological features and quantify deep-sea structures.
My research aims to understand how active faults and submarine landslides shape the seafloor, with a particular focus on understanding the potential for geohazards such as earthquakes and tsunamis.

Postdoctoral Researcher Scientist at San Diego State University PhD in Geophysics at Scripps Institution of Oceanography
I study the Pacific/North American transform plate boundary along the California Continental Borderland off the coast of Southern California. My research, conducted aboard the R/V Sally Ride, focuses on mapping fault complexities and landslides in deep-water environments.

Research questions
Research questions
Tectonics
- What is the recurrence interval for faults?
- How is slip distributed across offshore faults?
- How do low slip rate fault segments interact with one another?
- How have the diffuse plate margin and low slip rate faults evolved over time?
Submarine Landslides
- What roles do preconditioning factors and triggering mechanisms play in submarine landslides?
- How are landslide sediment characteristics related to failure dynamics?
- Are there fine-grained underwater landslides potentially hidden within uniform seafloor mud, previously undetected in sediment core observations?
