Research Interests

I am interested in earthquake mechanisms and the internal structure of the Earth. Particularly, my project is focusing on the application of an automatic picking code (developed by Harvard seismology group) for shear-wave splitting analysis. With this method, a large database of shear-wave splitting measurements could be built for further understanding the Earth's interior, such as the dynamics and chemistry of subduction zones.
As my favorite quote from Albert Einstein goes, “As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it.” While exploring the beauty of seismology, I would love to strengthen my theoretical knowledge and practical skills by working with seismic data.
