I use seismic waves as an investigative tool to probe faults in their natural state at depth within the Earth. I am interested in the three-dimensional spatial distribution of subsidiary faults, fractures, and deformation zones surrounding these primary faults. I aim to unravel the interplay between fault networks and fault morphology in controlling earthquake behavior.

By shedding light on these fundamental relationships, my research contributes to a deeper understanding of earthquakes, laying the foundation for more accurate earthquake models and effective hazard mitigation strategies.
