I am a second year graduate student at UC Berkeley. Right now I'm interested in coupled fluid-solid mechanics. I'm in the process of investigating the response of a propagating dike to various distributions of stress in the shallow crust. I am also studying fracture propagation on icy satellites in the outer solar system. Other scientific interests include geyser and hot spring processes, high-performance computing, scientifically relevant informatics, instrumentation, impact cratering, Earth history, and solar system formation. Before coming to Berkeley, I studied at Oberlin College where I majored in physics and minored in geology. In the past, I have worked on modeling propagation of EM waves through the interstellar medium and large dataset visualization.
