Self Introduction
My primary
area of research is investigating Earth’s structure by waveform modeling. Much of my work has specialized in mapping
seismic structure of the deep mantle and developing numerical techniques to
model seismic wave propagation. But, I
have more recently branched out towards upper mantle targets such as upper
mantle discontinuities and also working on structural health monitoring of
natural features such as arches and natural bridges. I am here working with Professors Nozomu
Takeuchi and Hitoshi Kawakatsu on deep Earth structure.
