Associate Professor
Director of the Computational and Data-Enabled Science and Engineering PhD Program
Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science
Specialties

PhD, Geodynamics, University of California, Davis - 2009
Research Interests
My interests are in the broad category of solid state deformation of the Earth, with an emphasis on the geodynamics governing plate and mantle deformation at plate boundaries.
I use data-driven high-resolution numerical models to understand how the process of subduction affects and is affected by mantle rheology and complex 3D slab geometries.
