Spending Veteran’s day grading a midterm at my local coffee shop.

Trying to balance the students stress due to the midterm with some sweets #ucla @uclaepss

New paper alert! Our latest research on the Martian crust was accepted for publication in PEPI (doi: 10.1016/j.pepi.2025.107453). It will be free for everyone to read online within the next few hours. Research done at @uclaepss #mars #marsinsight #martiancrust #seismology #seismicanisotropy #nasa #spaceexploration #ucla

Happy to have attended the @uclaepss commencement yesterday and to have seen Dr Erik Weidner graduate! #ucla #uclagraduation #phd #academia

On my way to the #UCLA @uclaepss graduation ceremony! My only regret is to have forgotten to iron the hem of my dress before going to the airport…

On 16 May, my graduate student Erik Weidner successfully defended his PhD thesis. It was a remote defense so we are extra excited to celebrate in person during the graduation ceremony on campus in a little over a week from now! Congratulations Erik! 🎓

When your birthday falls during a committee meeting away from home but you are lucky to work with nice friends who help you celebrate #earthscope #bigbirthday #seismology #geophysics #mallofamerica

Flying from BUR instead of the usual LAX gave me different views of the LA landscape this weekend #losangeles #geology #labasin

I had a great day at the Caltech Sismo Lab today where I gave a talk about the Mars InSight results that came from my group. It’s always a privilege to be invited there, the place where big names like Charles Richter worked.

Spending the day at Caltech to give the seismo lab seminar!
