Biography
Dr. Shi, Baoping is currently working as a Professor of Geophysics in the Department of Earth Sciences, University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences , China.
Research Interest
Currently, I work in three distinct scientific issues related to the earthquake researches. The first is the study of temporal-spatial distributions of aftershock activities and continental tectonics. The second is engineering seismology relating to the physics-based strong ground motion prediction. The third is earthquake faulting process through theoretical modeling of fault deformation and interactions. My goal is to combine results from these studies and contribute our understanding of earthquake physics and an improved scientific basis for assessment and mitigation of seismic hazard. As a seismologist, I study the mechanical process of the earthquakes and the characteristics of source rupture propagation related to the seismic energy radiation from both theoretical modeling and seismic observation.
