Research:

Taking advantage of applied mechanism and mathematics for solid continuum, we seek to clarify various phenomena related to earthquakes and crust deformation and to propose realistic solutions to mitigate possible disasters. At this moment, we are concentrated on developing advanced simulation methods that are based on clarified mechanism.
