Professor, Arizona State University
President-Elect, Seismology Executive Committee; Section President-Elect, Council; Member, Paul G. Silver Award for Outstanding Scientific Service Committee
I am a seismologist that investigates the interiors of planetary bodies, aimed at understanding the dynamics, composition, and evolution. I do this by studying data from earthquakes (or moonquakes) that travel throughout the planetary interior, combined with collaboration with experts of other fields, including geodynamicists (experts of mantle convection) and mineral physicists (experts of mineralogy of planetary materials).
