Research Interests
As a seismologist, I am interested in exploiting seismological data to probe the
Earth's interior. To this aim, I am interested in using several techniques
including:
1) Receiver Function analysis to investigate crust and mantle structure.
2) Techniques for analysis of earthquake source mechanisms
3) Seismic Tomography of body and surface waves to image the Earth internal
seismic structure.
4) Using regional phases like Lg, Sn and Pn to delineate the crustal and upper
mantle attenuation and velocity structure.
