PhD, Geology and Geophysics, University of Wyoming, in Progress
I have been continuously involved in various research projects over the last few of years. During my undergraduate career and the University of Nevada, Reno I worked closely with John Louie modeling earthquake ground motions in the Las Vegas Valley. Shortly after graduation I worked for Multi-Phase Technologies where I worked on various projects using electrical resistivity. My involvement here at the University of Wyoming has been with the Wyoming Center for Environmental Hydrology and Geophysics (WyCEHG) applying near-surface geophysical methods to environmental, hydrological and geomorphological problems. Near-surface geophysics includes electrical resistivity, seismic refraction, ground penetrating radar, passive field magnetic data and ground based nuclear magnetic resonance (GNMR).
