Self-Introduction
I am a professor at the Graduate School of Oceanography, University of Rhode Island, USA. My recent research involves the structure and dynamics of the crust and mantle, nuclear explosion monitoring, wave propagation simulation, and full-wave imaging and tomographic methods. Additional information about Shen's research can be found at https://sites.google.com/view/seismo/. At ERI, Shen plans to apply a recently developed 3D passive-source, reverse
time migration method to image the mantle discontinuities and scatters.
