--------------
I am an assistant professor of geophysics at the University of Alaska Fairbanks at the Geophysical Institute (GI) and the Department of Geology and Geophysics -- see the GI Seismology Group website for more details.
I conducted postdoctoral research in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University. I completed my PhD in geophysics at the Seismological Laboratory at California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, California.

socal snapshot
Snapshot of a 3D wavefield simulation for a Mw 9.2 "scenario" earthquake in southern Alaska;
this is roughly the same magnitude and location as the 1964 earthquake.
White lines = faults and plate boundaries; green dots = seismic stations; yellow dots = Fairbanks, Anchorage, Juneau.
The simulation used the code SPECFEM3D_GLOBE and was performed on the "pacman" cluster
at the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center at University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Play quicktime movie of the simulation here .

Alaska is one of the most seismically active regions on Earth.
This shows Mw >= 4 earthquakes from 1990-2010.
The deeper earthquakes highlight the subducting Pacific plate.
