Bio

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Geological Sciences working with Prof. Donald Lowe, Prof. Stephan Graham, Prof. Tapan Mukerji, and Dr. Tim McHargue. My research interests are sedimentology and stratigraphy of deep-water deposits in both outcrop and subsurface data as well as applying machine learning techniques to help solving geologic problems.
