Research Interest
My study interests lie in the fields of geodesy, earthquake seismology and geodynamics. Using the theory of earthquake stress triggering, I investigate the interactions between faults and earthquakes by calculating co-, post- and inter-seismic Coulomb failure stress changes. I also study the physical principles of earthquake occurrence, and assess short time-scale seismic hazards. Im also interested in larger scale geodynamic processes such as thermal isostasy and small-scale upper mantle convection. My current research focuses on estimating the thermal, compositional, density, seismological, and rheological structure of the lithosphere and sublithospheric upper mantle with the LitMod inversion approach. My favorite study areas include the North China Craton, Tibetan Plateau and Tien Mountain in China Mainland.
