My Research
My research interests are subsurface geology, fault interactions, and salt tectonics. I also like to interpret reflection-seismic data. In my undergraduate research at Rutgers University, I worked with a 3D seismic-reflection data which located on the passive margin offshore Nova Scotia, Canada to study the interactions between polygonal faults and larger normal faults. For my Master's thesis, I am currently working with Dr. Nancye Dawers on a project which relates to salt tectonics in the Gulf of Mexico. I am using 2D seismic-reflection data and high-resolution bathymetry data to study the fault systems that give minibasins in Keathley Canyon their unique polygonal shape. Examining these fault systems, I try to understand the interactions of underlying salt and faults, and their evolution.
My Life at Tulane
Tulane has many activities for students throughout the year. My favorites are the weekly free donut and coffee, and the boiled crawfish in the spring. It’s always nice to take a break and interact with other students outside the office or lab.
