Mentorship Chair
CalGeo At UCLA
Los Angeles, CA
09.2017 - 06.2019
- Served as Mentorship Chair of UCLA Chapter of CalGeo.
- Responsible for keeping membership high and ensuring strong involvement from every member.
- Participated in GeoWall : a competitive project where we build a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining wall using poster board and paper reinforcement. The competitive portion of this project is where we have to use the least amount of material needed to reinforce the retained soil and design loads. While this is the main challenge in the project, understanding and applying concepts like soil mechanics and reinforcement properties are equally challenging and important.
Undergraduate Research Assistant
UCLA Department Of Earth, Planetary, And Space Sciences
Los Angeles, CA
10.2017 - 12.2018
- Performed experiments and conducted research over the course of a year on a viscoplastic shear-zone model for deep (15–50 km) slow-slip events at plate convergent margins. Used QGIS extensively to map certain study areas and analyze the effects of earthquakes on these areas. Supervisor: Professor An Yin.
