BEDROCK
I’m a PhD student at Virginia Tech working with Prof. Steven Holbrook. I have a Masters in applied geophysics. Previously I worked on modelling 2D and 3D electrical resistivity data to map the subsurface for groundwater prospects. Before joining graduate school, I was also part of a team that works on airborne electromagnetic surveys for groundwater applications (e.g., high-resolution aquifer mapping, managed aquifer recharge, etc.).
Currently, I’m working on 3D seismic data and intending to figure out the subsurface beneath the Giant Sequoia Trees at Mariposa Grove, Yosemite National Park. I’m also interested in applying machine learning techniques to geophysical datasets.
I want to focus my future research on mapping the weathering of top soil, aquifers, fractures, and groundwater flow paths in the critical zone.
