Biographical
Information
Born in the
year of the Monkey, this sprightly young man grew up in the Los
Angeles suburb of Rancho Palos
Verdes. His early
years were mostly taken up by learning such life basics as walking, talking and
that all important skill of chewing food without spitting up. As he grew, Eric graduated from high school
and matriculated at UCLA with a B.S. in Astrophysics. He quickly fled the Astro-world in favor of
Geophysics to avoid the boredom that is telescope time. After graduating in 2002 from UCLA, Eric
began work on his Ph.D. at SOEST under his advisor Garrett Ito. He is currently working on the dynamics of
ridge-jump behavior associated with plume-ridge interaction.
