I am a geophysicist with over 17 years of experience in reflection seismology and geological interpretation of seismic images. My work in academia and the petroleum industry has involved imaging methodology development, and collecting, processing and interpreting 2D and 3D seismic reflection data. These data were collected on land and at sea for various purposes, from exploration to environmental, and at various scales, from engineering to crustal. I am a Principal Investigator (PI) as well as co-PI on projects funded by the US National Science Foundation, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, Canadian Foundation for Innovation, Nova Scotia Research and Innovation Trust, Offshore Energy Technical Research Association, LDEO Climate Center and Vetlessen Foundation. My current research is focused on rifting and crustal accretion processes at intermediate- to fast-spreading centers, petroleum exploration at passive margins, current deformation, and seismic oceanography.
