Research Interests

My main interest in computational seismology is to improve the understanding of the Earth’s interior by employing state-of-the-art seismic tomography techniques. I utilize numerical methods and HPC (High-Performance Computing) to solve seismic wave propagation in heterogeneous media and waveform seismic adjoint tomography. Currently, I am working on anelastic seismic tomography to study the trade-off between elastic and anelastic inversions in a global real setup.
