Research Interests
My research interests are the observation, monitoring, detection, and characterization of earthquake and slow slip activities in multiple tectonic environments around the world using offshore and land-based seismic data. My study regions predominantly include geothermal areas and strike-slip faults in places such as Japan, the US west coast, western Canada, the Caribbean. In the future, the Sea of Marmara will be included.
