My research incorporates techniques from applied mathematics and new instrumentation to better understand earthquake source processes and crustal structures. I’ve spent much of my time at Caltech developing and implementing a Bayesian inversion scheme for source finiteness to illuminate patterns in earthquake behavior. I’ve also been using datasets collected via distributed acoustic sensing, a recent technology that converts fiber optic cables into dense arrays of strainmeters, to characterize structures like fault zones at small scales.
