Introduction: I am a global seismologist who uses seismic waves to understand the Earth’s interior
structures and seismic sources using mathematical tools, such as signal processing,
numerical modeling, and geophysical inference. I am particularly interested in structures
and processes a few kilometers beneath the surface, such as polar ice sheets, down to the
Earth’s deepest shell, including its inner core. To date, one of my visible contributions is to
help understand better the architecture of the seismic wavefield several hours after large
earthquakes and use it to decipher several long-lasting puzzles regarding the Earth’s inner
core. In current and near-future research, I aim to expand my seismological toolbox further
to advance research on the topics, focusing on understanding the structures and dynamics
of the Antarctic ice sheet in the changing climate.
