Research Interests
I'm currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate at CIRES, University of Colorado Boulder, collaborating with Anne Sheehan. My general research interest is observational seismology/solid earth geophysics, and my primary research work is to develop and utilize novel seismic methods (mainly seismic tomography) and build high-resolution models of the Earth’s interior, to further determine the structures of the Earth’s lithosphere including geometry, composition, thermal properties, etc., with the ultimate goal to address the vital scientific issues concerning the Earth’s tectonic history, dynamics of the Earth’s evolution, as well as their implications for urgent human society challenges such as geohazards assessment and forecast, natural resources, and climate change.
Current Research
Under the mentorship of Prof. Anne Sheehan, I'm conducting research in seismology, focusing on analyzing ocean bottom seismic data from offshore Alaska. Our study includes the analysis of surface wave dispersion, seafloor compliance measurements and Ps delay time, aimed at characterizing the shallow oceanic and subduction zone crustal structures.
