Ciencia Puerto Rico

I am a seismologist/geophysicist working on the application of seismological methods to scientific problems in the Puerto Rico - Virgin Islands area and Caribbean region. I obtained both B.S. and M.S. from the Department of Geology at the University of Puerto Rico - Mayagüez in 1997 and 2000, respectively. Then I moved to Evanston Illinois to obtain in 2006 a Ph.D. from the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Northwestern University. My thesis advisors were Dr. Emile Okal and Dr. Seth Stein. Upon completion of the Ph.D., I moved to Woods Hole, MA for two years where I worked as a USGS Mendenhall Postdoctoral Fellow working with Uri ten Brink. I currently hold a temporary Assistant Professor appointment with the Geology Department at the University of Puerto Rico - Mayagüez.

I am married with 1 child
