My research investigates the kinematic factors that control the distribution of set-lengths in fluvial cross-strata. This is a year-long thesis research project stemming from the focus of the Surface Processes Group lead by Dr. Vamsi Ganti. Using high-resolution time-elevation data from experimental river flumes I use MATLAB programs to reconstruct 2-D cross-sections of the preserved cross-strata to measure set-lengths. I hope to either prove the limited and dated existing theories as correct or find new kinematic relationships that will directly be applied to the field of reconstructing paleocurrent conditions.

I work as a bicycle mechanic serving my fellow students and Santa Barbara locals. I am equipped to tackle the majority of repair needs that customers require while also teaching new student mechanics in the process. I take part in the interviewing and onboarding of new staff aswell.

I worked both independently and collaboratively under the guidance of a PhD student assisting her with her benthic foraminifera research.
