Research Interests

I'm currently a Postdoctoral Associate at CIRES, University of Colorado Boulder, under the supervision of Prof. Anne Sheehan. My general research interest is observational/structure seismology, 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. My research interests include, but are not limited to:

  • ocean bottom seismology and subduction zones
  • seafloor compliance
  • large-N array seismic imaging (nodal array and DAS)
  • ambient noise seismology
  • full waveform inversion

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.
