Research
I am a postdoc in Jeroen Tromp's group and interested in seismic-wave propagation and inversion techniques at local and global scales.I have developed a dedicated spectral-element method to propagate seismic waves through spherically symmetric Earth models. Exploiting symmetries in the radiation patterns for moment-Tensor earthquake sources, the resultant 2-D computational domain allows for efficient storage of entire wavefields at the scale of the Earth. These spatio-temporal fields constitute the basis of "exact", arbitrary-resolution (e.g., 1 HZ signals) 3-D Frechet sensitivity kernels for any fraction of a broadband seismogram. Large-scale tomographic inversions based on e.g. core-diffracted waves are a natural application of this idea and work-in- progress.
Other topics of interest include spectral-element dispersion analysis, high order time extrapolation schemes (e.g., symplectic), and 3-D elastic wave propagation through subduction zones and highly heterogeneous crustal scales. Ultimately, I am always partial to careful interpretation of seismic images in terms of mineralogical and geodynamic implications.
