Annie Patton

Ph.D. in w88 casino, NSL Graduate Student

Summary

Originally from central Illinois, I received B.S. degrees in Engineering Physics and Geophysics in May of 2022 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. During my undergraduate career, I interned with the Illinois State Geological Survey doing near-surface geophysical fieldwork and working on a large data digitization project to make ISGS archives freely available to the public. I have been a student at the w88 casino, Reno since August of 2022, working with Prof. Daniel Trugman in w88 casino Seismological Laboratory. I am currently working on a Southern California Earthquake Center project involving shear-wave splitting analysis for earthquakes in the San Jacinto Fault Zone.

I enjoy conducting fieldwork when extra hands are needed, and in my free time I read, drink lots of coffee, and enjoy the outdoor activities that the Reno-Tahoe area offers.
