Dr. Theresa Sawi is a Mendenhall Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Earthquake Science Center at Moffett Field in Santa Clara County, California. Theresa researches how distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), i.e., fiber optic cables, can be utilized to improve earthquake early warning. Her work seeks to better understand the rupture processes of large earthquakes, the behavior of repeating earthquake sequences, and how to best apply machine learning and cloud computing to aid in solving seismological problems. Her scientific interests also include seismicity in fluid-rich locations such as volcanoes, glaciers, and fluid-disposal sites.
