I am a DPhil student working on creep events under the supervision of Jessica Hawthorne.

I am interested in aseismic slip/creep events on large continental strike-slip faults. My research focuses on the creeping section of the San Andreas Fault between San Juan Bautista and Cholame. Using data from multiple sources (creepmeters, strainmeters and seismology), I aim to determine the size and scale of these creep events to determine the role they play in the slip dynamics of the creeping section.

I am funded by NERC through the Doctoral Training Partnership in Environmental Research.
