Research
I possess a profound interest in applying seismic inversion techniques, specifically employing the ray tracing method and seismic data modelling. Throughout my career, I have gained expertise in various geophysical modelling methods, which have proven valuable in addressing complex geological challenges within offshore environments.
My current research endeavours centre on exploring fluid and melting interactions within the crust and the formation mechanisms of both passive and active continental margins. Within this scope, my primary focus lies in investigating the heterogeneity characteristics of passive margin structures while carefully analyzing the influence of hereditary structures on their development.
Additionally, I am actively engaged in a significant project that examines the dynamic processes of volatile cycling within subduction zones, particularly from a crustal scale perspective, within active margin settings. It involves acquiring and modelling earthquakes and ambient noise seismic data, considering velocity structures at various wavelengths. Concurrently, I also use dynamic modelling techniques to effectively interpret the deep structures of interest.
Overall, my research undertakings are geared towards gaining a comprehensive understanding of the complex geological processes and structures at play, further contributing to the broader field of geophysics.
