I am co-founder and inaugural director of the Energy Studies Multidisciplinary Academic Program at Yale University, and a research scientist and lecturer in the fields of energy geoscience and geophysical remote sensing. I also work as a manager for the Society of Exploration Geophysicists on projects designed to advance the science of applied seismology for the public benefit. Before coming to Yale in 2009, I spent 25+ years as a scientist and research manager in the geophysical services industry with Schlumberger.
