Research Interests

Seismic Source Studies, Strong Motion Seismology

Basic research interests are observing, analyzing and predicting strong
motion from earthquakes. Following up on these interests involves dissecting
the problem into more manageable pieces: collecting data, modeling the
earthquake process itself, and understanding wave propagation in
heterogeneous geological structures.
