• Streamlined income estimation for Fintech startup underwriting process, reduced need for manual review of applicant bank statements by 80%, and explored trends related to customer segmentation• Delivered production‐ready algorithm (R, tidyverse) that estimates income and identifies trend anomalies in bank statements• Explored model behavior and visualized results in Python

Developed probabilistic earthquake hazard models for modeling earthquake insurance risk: • Researched and incorporated relevant external data • Defined probabilities for stochastic event set by statistically characterizing past seismicity and developing temporal models for significant sources• Designed and implemented approach for optimizing event set to minimize computation time• Communicated model content, results, and impact via technical documentation and meetings with clients• Led development of induced seismicity model in recent product release, subsequent model update, and extensive client discussions• Developed R packages and code base for supporting internal modeling work; this led to entire team migrating to R framework• Supervised 1 direct report and 1 intern

My postdoctoral research focused on microearthquakes (-4 < magnitudes < 3) recorded by a three-dimensional array in TauTona gold mine in South Africa (see Boettcher, Kane, et al., 2015, BSSA).• Wrote GUI-based Matlab code for picking peak amplitudes of seismic phases.• Developed Matlab code for moment tensor analysis using picks of peak amplitudes.• Expanded dataset of earthquakes (-2 < magnitude < 3) with full moment tensor solutions.• Analyzed polarization of waveform data to determine rotation corrections for stations with incorrect orientation information.• Designed and performed extensive analyses to verify data quality.• Tested application of relocation algorithms to mine seismicity for associating earthquakes with individual mapped structures within the mine.Teaching:• Co-instructor for Fall 2013 UNH graduate course ESCI 859 (Geological Oceanography). Prepared and taught 5 lectures.• Co-instructor for Fall 2011 UNH undergraduate course ESCI 401 (Dynamic Earth). Prepared and taught 12 lectures.• Supervised undergraduate research student in assisting with moment tensor analysis (March 2012 - present).

Graduate research focused on 4 main topics:• Quantified uncertainties of stress drop estimates and other source parameters using data from a 60-station small aperture array (see Kane et al., 2011, BSSA).• Estimated source time functions of small earthquakes using deconvolution.• Determined best practices for selecting appropriate empirical Green's function earthquakes in regions of structural heterogenerity (e.g., San Jacinto Fault Zone) by examining corner frequency measurements over >56,000 trial events (see Kane et al., 2013, BSSA).• Examined spectral characteristics of seismicity at Parkfield, California for evidence of a preferred rupture direction possibly due to differences in rock properties across the San Andreas Fault (see Kane et al., 2013, JGR).

Fall 2008 and Fall 2010 Teaching Assistant for SIO 15: Natural Disasters (Instructor Gabi Laske). • Led discussion sessions (reviewed course material and answered questions) for students.• Developed and graded weekly assignments.• Led field trips to the beach at SIO to discuss local natural hazards and geology.

• Designed and taught lessons in the 9th grade Earth Science classes at the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts. Main lessons focused on earthquakes and seismology with additional lessons prepared for other topics.• Created comprehensive 3-week curriculum and materials available for download through my website and through the Scripps Classroom Connection site.• Collaborated with local high school teacher on content and presentation.• Presented overview of my research and discussed science careers with Physics and Environmental Science classes.• Member of first SCC summer institute.

• Searched the ANZA network (San Jacinto Fault Zone, southern California) catalog for evidence of local earthquakes triggered by teleseismic earthquakes.• Research published in JGR (Kane et al., 2007)

• Made global measurements of surface wave group velocity variations to constrain crustal thickness.• Resulted in Honors Thesis and presentation in UC San Diego Department of Physics.

Summers of 2003, 2004, 2005.• Modeled ground motion of the 1992 M 7.2 Cape Mendocino, California earthquake using trial source models and empirical Green's function techniques.• Planned and completed field experiments to install and recover small ground motion sensors for further data.
