Research Interests：

I use and develop seismological, geophysical and geodetic approaches to obtain quantitative observations, develop models and gain physical insights for a wide range of fundamental plate tectonic and earthquake physics questions. My research interests focus on earthquake source studies at regional to global scales, and building seismic networks in SE Asia to address neotectonics and geodynamics questions. My research can be divided into the following categories:

· Earthquake rupture process imaging and focal mechanism inversion

This work aims to develop and apply advanced methods to precisely and accurately determine kinematic and geometry parameters of earthquakes, because quantifying these parameters is critical to understanding seismic hazard, earthquake physics and plate tectonics.

· Marine geophysics

This work focuses on acquiring modern geophysical observations beneath the ocean and polar areas. The outcomes of the project will improve the understanding of plate tectonics, natural hazards and natural resources concentration in these areas.

· Urban and environmental seismology

This work aims to use dense seismic observations in metropolis (e.g., Beijing) to understand detailed underground velocity structure and geology, as well as to precisely monitor the man-made seismic sources (e.g. traffic, construction explosions), engineering responses to the seismic events and atmospheric originated seismic sources (e.g. thunders and airplanes), and decipher the fundamental physics of these seismic sources.

· Crustal to upper mantle scale velocity structure modelling/inversion

The goal of this work is to image earth structure at a range of spatial scales (i.e., a few km to hundreds of km), and interpret the results to better understand geologic and dynamic processes of the earth.

· Volcano Seismology

The scope of this work includes using seismic observations at active volcanos to detect seismic events and determine their source parameters (such as location, mechanism and spectrum), as well as to constrain underground velocity structure. These observations are integrated with other geophysical, petrological, and geological observations/modelling results to gain deeper insights on the fundamental physics of volcanism.

· Space Geodesy

This works aims to develop advance space geodetic techniques, such as InSAR and Pixel Offset Tracking, to resolve high resolution surface deformation and its spatial and temporal changes, which could be used in a range of geoscience studies (such as earthquake rupture, volcano eruption etc.) and industrial applications (such as city subsidence).
