My interests lie mainly in exploring
various tectonic problems seismologically and gaining better understanding of
multi-scale Earth structure from shallow to deep, which includes a wide range
of topics such as regional structural kinematics, unusual earthquake sequences,
mountain building process, 3-D slab interaction, volcanic plumbing system, and
inner core structure. One of my main focuses is on improving seismic imaging
through multi-dataset joint inversion, waveform inversion, and body-wave
seismic interferometry. In the meantime, I also work on earthquake rupture
directivity and time-lapse environmental monitoring for earthquake and
landslide hazard mitigation. The visit to ERI is to investigate the possible
topographic effect on short-period surface wave measurements from ambient noise
correlations, which could be important for interpreting crustal seismic imaging
and monitoring at higher resolution in orogenic areas such as Taiwan, Japan,
and Tibet.
