Research
I am especially interested in seismic inversion based on the ray tracing method and non-seismic data modeling. I have various geophysical method background directed towards the marine geological problem. My research investigates crustal-mantle interaction and crustal formation of the continental margins, from an approach calling upon different seismic methods. My current research project involves on the heterogeneity characteristics of the oceanic lithosphere and the rifted margins structure due to the change of the extension/spreading rate by obtaining and modeling of the reflection/refraction seismic data considering velocity structures at different wavelengths, with the potential field to image the deep structure.
