Brief Biography

I am a structural geologist. My research interests include integrating geophysical datasets, geomorphology, and structural geology to understand extensional and accretionary tectonic environments. Recently, I developed an interest in using the combination of the aforementioned datasets to understand neotectonic seismic hazards in southern Africa.
