I am a PhD candidate in solid Earth geophysics specializing in observational seismology. My research interests lie in mid-mantle structure and dynamics with a focus on seismological evidence hydration of the mantle transition zone. I primarily use converted wave techniques such as receiver functions and SS precursors in my work.
