Research

My research focuses on using a variety of techniques, such as local earthquake tomography, seismic waveform modeling, and geomorphological tools, to investigate primary and secondary seismic hazard at margins globally. I am particularly interested in how we can use waveform modeling to better address coseismic landlside hazard.
