Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi! I’m Anna, a Master’s student studying Mechanics and Computation within the Structural Engineering and Mechanics program. My interests lie in earthquake and geotechnical engineering, especially when it comes to enhancing infrastructure resilience. My work focuses on areas like liquefaction, numerical modeling, and dams, with the aim of using physics-based models to create innovative solutions that improve safety in the face of seismic events and other natural hazards.

Outside of academics, I enjoy road trips, biking, discovering new foods, spending time with friends, singing, and photography. Looking forward to SPLASH this year!
