Welcome ð
I am currently a postdoc at the department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Cornell University. Before that, I obtained my Ph.D. in geophysics at Harvard University, under the supervision of Marine Denolle, John Shaw, and David Weitz
As a geophysicist, I am studying seismoacoustic wave physics and mechanical processes to understand and infer earthquake physics, fracturing dynamics, fluid-fracture/fault interactive mechanisms, and material mechanical properties from laboratory to Earth scales. My recent research is centered around understanding and reconstructing subterranean activities associated with fractures, faults, and fluids. Specifically, how do fluids affect subsurface mechanical properties? how do fluids interact with fractures and/or faults? how to manage and foresee seismic risk and/or fluid leakage? To answer these questions, I conduct multidimensional studies, encompassing laboratory experiments, computational simulations, and observational data analysis. Ultimately, my goal is to effectively inform subsurface activities and potential risks for environmental and energy sustainability.
Aside from the research, I prefer music, basketball, and hiking for my entertainment.
