Hi there! I’m a final-year geophysics undergrad at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, and I’m interested in environmental & engineering geophysics, planetary science, and geothermal energy. My skill-set includes ground-based geophysical surveying (EMI\/GPR\/ERT\/magnetometry), geological field techniques, and data analysis in computational environments (MATLAB\/Unix\/GMT), and I have analyzed data-sets ranging from multi-channel GPR obtained in the field at German agricultural sites, magnetic signatures of impact craters in the Northern hemisphere of Mercury, echo-sounding oceanographic data in The Strait of Georgia (off the BC\u00a0Coast), and proxies for geothermal energy potential in BC. I also have experience in GIS, specifically in hazard mapping, site selection, environmental impact assessment, and socio-economic trend mapping. I co-wrote a study<\/a> seeking to ascertain the most favourable locations to build geothermal power plants in BC via a holistic multi-criterion evaluation that considered geologic, environmental, economic, and social factors.<\/p>\n

As one who believes that data not only surrounds but profoundly influences us, I am impelled to seek patterns where others see none, to characterize systems defying characterization \u2013 to imagine the Earth a unified whole, if only we could better understand it. At its core (pun completely intended), a fundamental symmetry underlies live, the universe, and everything – as I elaborated upon in my contest-winning entry “The Thirst for Symmetry<\/a>“.<\/p>\n
