Research
I am currently working with Jean-Paul Ampuero on dynamic rupture modeling to study heterogeneities of dynamic rupture parameters on the fault and its role on high-frequencies radiated from seismic source. My research is mainly focused to study the earthquake source from theoretical modeling and constrained by observations (strong motion, tele-seismic and GPS data). I have worked on broadband strong ground motion prediction by using kinematic rupture modeling
(k-2 and fractal composite source models) and developing pseudo-dynamic and empirical green's function approaches. I am broadly interested on earthquake
source modeling, analysis of strong motion data, seismic hazard assessment, numerical tools applied to wave field propagation in complex media, and also kinematic source inversion, specifically techniques imaging the high-frequency radiated from the fault.
