Research Interest
Numerical simulations of 3-D seismic wave propagation in heterogeneous medium based upon the spectral-element method (SEM). Moment-tensor and finite-fault inversions using 3-D Green's functions for regional and global earthquakes. Tomographic inversions based upon 3D initial models and 3D sensitivity kernels for frequency-dependent measurements at both the global and regional scales (i.e., adjoint tomography or full-waveform inversion). Adjoint tomography of ambient noise-correlation data. High-resolution seismic imaging of scattered waves based on adjoint method. Nonlinear inversion/optimization methods; model resolution analysis. Whole-mantle tomography based on kernel databases computed for 1D reference models. Microseismics and induced seismicity: event detection, source localization, mechanism inversions.
