I am a postdoctoral researcher currently focusing on the improvement of statistical models for forecasting induced seismicity at CO2 storage sites and other injection operations, including the associated hazard and risk. I have a strong interest in energy security and resilience as well as engineering seismology and geotechnical applications, and am dedicated to enhancing scientific understanding and application in our fast-paced, interconnected world .

I also support the Program Development Support Office (PDSO) as a compliance advisor for grant and proposal writing and serve on the Lawrence Livermore Postdoc Association (LLPA) Board, connecting postdocs across fields, supporting them to achieve the best possible experience in their early-career journeys and facilitating events (both academic and non-academic).
