Green Institute of Geophysics and Plan­etary Physics. Currently a Stanford University postdoctoral fellow in geophysics, Ogden is a theoretical geophysicist who studies the dynamics of explosive volcanic eruptions. Her current focus involves com­plex numerical simulation studies and she specializes in adapting cutting-edge computational models to address research problems. Working in a highly interdisciplinary area that blends geology, physics, applied math, computer science, and aerospace and mechanical engineering, Ogden takes advantage of super­computing power to help solve complex geoscience problems. When she joins Scripps early next year, Ogden hopes to build a research group focused around computational solutions to geoscience problems related to fluids and solids.
