My main research objective is to expand the scientific return of future planetary missions through the development of machine learning algorithms for lander-side signal assessment, focusing on the Moon and Europa. The development of these methods has the potential to aid in the solution of large-scale seismological questions on missions to distant planetary bodies, where strict power limitations drive the recording, on-board analysis, and telemetry of data.
Here on Earth, I am developing algorithms for detecting and locating Long Period Long Duration signals at geothermal fields, which have been attributed to superposition of slow shear-slip events on large faults during stimulation. Prediction of how pre-existing faults and fractures shear in response to hydraulic stimulation can help optimize field operations and improve recovery. In addition to these topics, I also have experience in site response seismology and ambient seismic noise interferometry.
