Davis, California, United States

-Researched the reduction of aleatory variability in PSHA for critical infrastructure by selecting complex ground-motion models and source models which include additional physical behavior.-Analyzed site-specific hazard methodologies for the calculation of soil hazard.-Demonstrated strong communication skills by presenting at 10 conferences including the Seismological Society of America and the United States Society of Dams.

-Taught and developed an introductory geography lecture and lab which was suitable for students attending in-person or virtual.-Designed labs and homework to assist students’ understanding of geography.-Adapted coursework mid-semester to a virtual course due to the pandemic.

-Supported Geosciences in their annual geologic hazard evaluation and maintenance of infrastructure.-Provided recommendations of erosion mitigation and collaborated on seismic imaging of local faulting-Updated an instrumentation report by analyzing the results of an water instrumentation report, and drawing conclusions on water pressure and level trends. -Attended technical discussions regarding dam safety and examined the analysis method for evaluating the seismic displacement of dams.

Berkeley, California, United States

-The project is a large-scale investigation of simulating earthquake scenarios in the Bay Area and connecting earthquake hazard to risk over a wide range of frequencies. -Investigated site effects through separating the source and path for a more accurate depiction of the 3-D crustal structure.

-Led discussion sections For EPS C12 - The Planets and EPS 2- Earthquakes in Your Backyard.-Developed weekly lesson plans to review lecture materials.-Assisted students with understanding basic concepts of earthquakes and the solar system.

Taiwan

-Created and implemented a regional and dense seismic network in northern and southern Taiwan. -Used GIS to locate and map prime locations for instrumentation.-Measured microearthquakes to help locate regions for geothermal development.
