Research Focus
We connect observations, laboratory experiments, and high-fidelity modeling to understand how subsurface systems deform, fail, and trigger hazards.
Earthquake nucleation and rupture propagation
Understanding how multiphysical processes influence when unstable sliding starts, cascades, or arrests.
Induced seismicity and geosystems
Linking fault zone architecture, permeability, and fluid injection to induced seismicity risk during subsurface operations.
Scientific machine learning
Developing fast surrogate models that preserve the relevant mechanics and enable uncertainty quantification.
News
Selected updates from recent papers and group development.
Injection-induced seismicity in complex fault zone architecture is now published in Geophysical Research Letters. Read more
