I am a 4th year PhD student in the Ocean Sciences Department at UCSC using novel non-targeted geolipidomics and machine learning approaches to generate a complete view of the chemical changes associated with seismic slip that will allow us to consider the size and timing of earthquakes. I have been involved with CORE since spring 2024 focusing on professional development for transitioning from academia to industry, writing retreats and co-working sessions.
I am a 4th year Ph.D. candidate in the Ocean Sciences Department at UCSC, where I study the biogeochemical cycling of mercury in the ocean. I have been apart of CORE since fall 2025 and am currently organizing the Unwritten Curriculum Workshop Series. I enjoy being involved in CORE as a way to build community and support fellow graduate students within the Ocean Science Department.
I am a 2nd year PhD student in the Ocean Sciences Department at UCSC, utilizing LaGrangian particle tracking to model derelict fishing gear movement along the California Coast. I have been involved with CORE since fall 2025 and think CORE provides a great opportunity to connect with fellow students in the Ocean Sciences Department.
