Internships and Research Experience

2019		LMU Munich, Germany. Research assistant (HiWi) to Dr. Florian L-Huillier.  Retrieved rock samples, cut the samples to size, and performed tests on the samples. Presented the preliminary results at a group meeting at the LMU Magnetic Observatory.
2018-2019		LMU Munich, Germany. Research assistant (HiWi) to the LMU Seismology Group. Project: Fixing bugs in the Python module ObsPy.
2018-2019		LMU Munich, Germany. Research assistant (HiWi) to Professor Stuart Gilder. Project: Visited the borehole drill site of a geothermal project in Garching an der Alz and took samples from the material being brought up from the drill head. Measured the magnetic susceptibility of the samples, and then plotted this as a function of true vertical depth and interpreted the results.
2018		University of Ottawa, Canada. Research assistant to Associate Professor Pascal Audet. Project: Testing a new method of earthquake depth estimation using auto-correlation of seismic traces.
2017		Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany. DAAD-RISE Internship funded by MITACS Canada, working directly with Dr. Marc Boxberg. Project: Measured ultrasound wave velocity through rock samples with varying levels of saturation. The poroelastic wave equation was then used to fit synthetic seismograms to observed seismograms as a way of inferring hydromechanical parameters.
2016		University of Ottawa, Canada. Research assistant to Associate Professor Pascal Audet. Project: Investigating the seismic anisotropy of the Canadian High Arctic and Greenland. Participated in the EarthsCAN workshop aimed at exploring the possibility of a network of geoscience observatories across Canada.
