New Faculty Victor Tsai to Join the Seismological Laboratory in the GPS Division
May 01, 2010
Victor Tsai, Assistant Professor of Geophysics, will be joining the division in July 2011. Victor was born in Massachusetts but grew up mostly in the San Francisco Bay area. As an undergraduate at Caltech, he became interested in geophysics and did research on atmospheric/solid-earth coupling and the stability of earth rotation, graduating with a BS in geophysics. While pursuing his Ph.D. at Harvard University, he broadened his research interests to include earthquake dynamics, glacier mechanics, solid-fluid interactions, and seismic noise tomography. As a postdoctoral fellow at the United States Geological Survey, he is continuing some of this work while also investigating the physical processes that generate seismic noise.
