My research centers on understanding how local geology and basin structure impact seismic wave behavior — especially in tectonically active regions like Southern California.

I’m currently working on:

  • Modeling site amplification in the Los Angeles Basin
  • Using polarization analysis to characterize wave types and directions
  • Investigating frequency-dependent effects of basin structure on seismic response

I use a combination of Python-based analysis tools, numerical simulation, and observational datasets. I’m especially interested in how improved understanding of local site effects can contribute to more accurate hazard assessments.
