I am interested in the structure and dynamics of the lowermost mantle, focusing mainly on seismic anisotropy. For my first project (advised by Maureen D. Long), I combine computational and observational techniques. I use the AxiSEM3D waveform modeling code to better understand how precisely seismic anisotropy manifests itself in the waveforms; subsequently, I apply my findings to observational data. My research question for my PhD work can be best put as “How does lowermost mantle anisotropy manifest itself in the seismic observations and how can we best measure it?”

For my minor project with David AD Evans I worked on reconciling supercontinent cycle models with ancient subduction zones.
