I am a Professor of Geophysics and Tectonics at Cornell University.   My primary interests are soil moisture, earthquake physics, inverse theory, satellite remote sensing (especially Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar or InSAR), finite element modeling, ground displacements from a variety of human and natural causes (including subsidence in New Orleans and upstate New York), and the tectonics of southern California, Louisiana, the Cascadia subduction zone, and Iran. You can learn more about my background, research interests, current projects, and collaborators via the links above.


Please contact me if you are interested in exploring research opportunities at the undergraduate, graduate, or postdoctoral level.
