Full Resume

Thesis advisor (s):

Marc Hendrix

Thesis project:

Sedimentary basin evolution and hydrostratigraphic assessment of Blackfoot basin, Western Montana. This project will consist of detailed mapping of 40 square km covering parts of Brown’s Lake, Marcum Mountain, Chimney Lakes and Helmville USGS 7.5 minute quadrangles. Sediments are primarily Cenozoic Renova formation in the form of fine grained sandstones and muds. Field work for this project will start in the summer of 2006. This project addresses location and viability of aquifers and gravel bearing beds. In addition, this project will also construct the tectonic framework of the area in relation to the Lewis and Clark fault Zone.  

Ready to go into the field and do some science!

Typical outcrop style in Blackfoot basin.

Hobbies

Travel is my passion. Here I am with a snake charmer outside the Red Fort in New Delhi, India. There is a python around my neck and a cobra on my head.

Trekking in the Italian alps. Had to stop to cool down my feet.
