Research
My work asks how complex physical systems are simplified when we infer mechanisms and parameters from limited observations. I approach that question through earthquake source physics and numerical fault-zone models.

Reconciling earthquake fracture energy with fractal fault-zone structures
A numerical stereology study testing whether the reduction of a volumetric fault zone to a planar observation can contribute to the apparent scale dependence of earthquake fracture energy.

Can multiple reflections bias estimates of critical slip distance?
An exploratory question about whether reflected and scattered seismic waves can affect the source parameters inferred from near-fault observations.
