About

I study the physics of slowly deforming landscapes: how soil and rock creep, flow, and fail, and what that does to the shape of the land over time. I work in the field, in the lab, and on the computer.

I'm a postdoc at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Before that I did my Ph.D. in Earth & Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania.

I also make music.
