Undergraduate Education
Here are some interesting facts that our President, Tony Frank, has pointed out. (The following is a quote from a public email he has written).- * We’re in our 3rd year of record enrollment.
* We enroll students from every county in Colorado as well as around the world, and we’re on track to continue to enroll and graduate more Coloradans than any other campus.
* We produce more STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) graduates to help drive the state’s economy than any other campus, and we produce more STEM high school teachers than any other university in Colorado.
* 1 in 4 of our students are the first in their families to go to college, and we have the same percentage of low-income students we had two decades ago.
* We beat the predicted averages for graduation rates of our students, and our graduates leave CSU with lower-than-average debt loads.
* We graduate minority students within 1 percentage point of majority graduation rates – still 1 percent too large, but unheard of in terms of the small size of this gap for a comprehensive research university.
Current Graduate Students
I currently have three
M.S. Students:
Mohit Agarwal has recently joined us for a summer M.S. internship, and we are looking forward to M.S. student Brianna Lyons joining us in the Fall.
- Gladys Bonilla Ortiz
- Krystal Tremblay
- Melinda Solomon

Prospective Graduate Students or Post-Docs
I am usually keeping an eye out
for new M.S. and
Ph.D. students from a variety of backgrounds--Geology, Physics,
Engineering, Math, etc.---that enjoy doing a little math and
programming. An ideal student has written some perl, python,
fortran, matlab, or something similar, and knows math up through
partial differential equations. But many students learn these
skills as they go, and that is fine too. My current research is
summarized here and here;
please drop me a line if
you are interested. Please note that CSU
enforces a minimum
GPA requirement of 3.0, unless there are extenuating
circumstances. If you are curious about
seismology in general, you may wish to take a look at this document on what the
academic seismolgy community sees as important (I was a
coauthor).
When you are not learning new stuff or doing research, you'll find CSU is a great university and Fort Collins is a great place to live. It often ranks as one of the best places to live in the U.S., and is a great place to spend a few years. If you like the outdoors, the mountains are just up the road, the weather is usually great, and the city itself has the amenities of a college town and is safer than most.
See this page about appying to graduate school. And if you think you might be interested in working with me, feel free to drop me an email. I do get a lot of spam emails, so please if you could note what about the work we do here might be of interest to you, that would be of great assistance in helping me know that you didn't send the same email to 1000 other faculty.
