Welcome to my homepage!

Thanks for stopping by. I’m a second year graduate student in oceanography at the University of Washington, in the Marine Geology and Geophysics option. My background is in geomatics engineering and ocean engineering, but I made a pretty big shift about a year ago. I’m now learning about whales and earthquakes – more specifically, I’m looking at whale calls that show up as “noise” in earthquake records.  The research project has been going for a couple of years now, so I’m jumping into the middle of it and trying to learn as much as I can about whales, seismometers, earthquakes, and signal processing.

Feel free to browse, comment, or contact me directly if you’ve got any questions.
