Houston, Texas Area

I joined DUG's Houston office, which provides seismic processing and imaging services to most of the major energy companies operating in North America. It continues to be a great opportunity to gain experience in a core area of exploration geoscience.At first I worked mostly on marine processing at various stages from time processing to depth imaging and.

Houston, Texas

After Chevron, I spent six months trying to find new opportunities in Houston to leverage my quantitative and analytical background. There's no doubt that the collapse of the oil industry made Houston a challenging place to launch a new career.During this time I worked hard to stay intellectually engaged. I remained active in my prior field of fault.

Well, that was short.I joined Chevron right out of graduate school. Long before I graduated, I realized that the obvious next step was to find a job in Houston because I knew my wife would likely end up working here (and she has). At the time, I knew I wanted to branch out from my prior subfield of geophysics, and a handful of companies were interested in.

Stanford, CA

This was graduate school. My Ph.D. research was in theoretical fault mechanics. I coupled idealized models of friction, elasticity, and heat transport in a big numerical model and reported on what behavior the model produced.I got interested in this topic before I went to Stanford because I felt that friction was key to understanding the physics of.

Madison, Wisconsin

I worked at PFS briefly between UW and Stanford. PFS tested various construction materials. In other words, clients contracted with PFS to break stuff in order to see how strong it is. My job there was mostly designing machines to break stuff. How cool is that?!Working at PFS was well suited to my expertise at the time. It leveraged much of the engineering.

Madison, Wisconsin

My first attempt at graduate school was at the University of Wisconsin. Toward the end of my undergraduate experience, I developed an interest in geology and I felt compelled to learn more about the physics behind it.UW was an outstanding place to get into geoscience. The intellectual environment was vibrant and interdisciplinary, and I enjoyed the.

Doctor Of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Geophysics

Research topic: Frictional behavior of faults as slip nucleates and transitions into seismic rupture. I developed numerical models that.

Master Of Science (Ms), Geophysics

Research topic: Crustal deformation associated with subduction zone tectonics. I used a finite element model coupled with an inversion.

Bachelor Of Arts (B.A.), Physics

Activities and Societies: Resident Assistant, Student Newspaper, Writing Tutor, Student Government
