Developed and wrote computer analytic models to predict earthquake fault slip rates and crustal stressing rates. Discovered an interest in the business applications of science and modeling technologies.• Dissertation title: "Mechanical models of continental plate boundaries: fault slip rates and interseismic stress rotation rates." • Published research papers in peer-reviewed journals.• Presented talks and posters at several conferences, including the annual AGU Fall Meeting (largest worldwide conference in geophysical sciences, with 20,000 earth and space scientists, educators, & policy makers).• Presented and defended two thesis defenses: one to a group of experts in my field and one to a public audience with no experience in my field.• Teaching fellow for several undergraduate classes, including "Natural Disasters" and the "Technology, Economics, and Public Policy of Renewable Energy."

Created a report for the Aruban government evaluating and modeling methods for limiting the impact of renewable energy volatility on the Aruban electricity grid• Worked in a small team both in Cambridge and in Aruba produce complete work within 5 months.• Report title: "Intermittent renewable electricity: Incentivizing load management technologies in Aruba."• Cited in Working Paper produced by the Carbon War Room, an organization that seeks to find business solutions for reductions in carbon emissions.
