My research interests include computational geosciences and fluid dynamics. Most recently, my focus has been on application to explosive volcanic eruptions. I received my Ph.D. in June of 2008 at UCSC, where I currently hold a short-term postdoc position. In Fall of 2008, I will move to Stanford University where I have accepted the Thompson Postdoctoral Fellowship in Geophysics.
