About Me
I am a researcher at the Center for Wave Phenomena in the Geophysics Department at Colorado School of Mines. My work spans seismic data processing and imaging, ambient/passive seismic monitoring, and high-performance computing applications in geophysics.
I am actively involved in developing open-source tools for the geophysics community, including contributions to the DASCORE distributed fiber optic sensing library and Madagascar software for reproducible computational experiments.
