About

    I am a PhD Candidate working with Dr. Folarin Kolawole in the Crustal Deformation Group at Columbia University. My research focuses on integrating field structural geology and seismology to understand crustal structure and modes of strain release along evolving continental divergent plate boundaries at different scales. My current research areas include the East African Rift System (Tanzania and Congo) and Northeast Pacific (offshore Oregon, US).

    My previous work at the Infrasound Lab (ISLA) at the University of Hawaiʻi involved building algorithms for geoscience research, such as examining signals from the IMS Infrasound Network.

    I earned a B.A. in Physics from Carleton College. During my undergraduate years, I participated in physics research opportunities, such as exploring the complex dynamics of a laser, and geology research, such as analyzing seismic data from the 2018 Kīlauea eruption.

Other things

• One of my favorite webpages is Earth, a project to visualize global weather conditions (and it’s open-source!). My favorite Wikipedia page is Timeline of the far future.

• The base for this website is researcher, by Ankit Sultana, and heavily influenced by Maria Antoniak, all credit to her!
