Education

PhD, Geophysics, 2002, Stony Brook University - Dissertation: Dynamics of Active Plate Margins

Research Interests

I am interested in the kinematics and dynamics of the continental lithosphere, namely the interaction between the lithospheric crust and mantle, deformational driving forces of continental lithosphere, and the development of large plateaus. The modeling performed are all observationally based using geodetic, geologic and seismic data.
