About me

Currently

I am a postdoc at the University of California, Berkeley. Some of my projects include:

• Geochronology and stratigraphy of Snowball Earth climate dynamics in Namibia and Oman (in prep)
• Bayesian determination of sedimentary compensation length and time scales, as well as stratigraphic completeness, for Neogene Antarctic glaciomarine sedimentation in ANDRILL AND-2A (in prep)
• Evaluation of sedimentary periodicity in the Tonian Carbon Canyon Member of the Grand Canyon Chuar Group as a potential far field record of pre-Sturtian glacioeustasy

Previously…

As a PhD student at the University of California, Santa Barbara, I worked with Francis Macdonald projects on Phanerozoic record of shallow marine flooding of North America, the Miocene record and Antarctic glaciation in the ANDRILL AND-2A sediment core, and the geochronology and sequence stratigraphy of the Marinoan Snowball Earth glaciation in Namibia.

As a masters student at ETH Zürich, I worked with Alexey Kuvshinov and Alexander Grayver to develop probabilistic forecasts of geomagnetic storms using neural networks. These forecasts demonstrated the ability of neural networks to learn uncertainty in their outputs.

As an undergraduate at Princeton University, I worked with Adam Maloof and Blair Schoene to develop a cyclostratigraphy for the late Cretaceous Potosi Basin in Bolivia. This project included independent testing of the orbital hypothesis with radiometric ages, and I also developed a novel workflow for incorporating outcrop color captured by drone imagery as a paleoenvironmental proxy.
