About Me

I'm working at the Computational Infrastructure for Geodynamics (CIG) as the Lead Developer. I work with geophysicists and help develop computer simulations of geophysics phenomenon including mantle convection and earthquakes.
Here's an article in the Aggie regarding my work in earthquake simulation.
