I am working at the SED ETHZ as a postdoctoral researcher since May 2021.

My research focuses on monitoring earthquakes for understanding earthquake physics and mitigating earthquake hazards. At SED I'm currently working on developing machine-learning (ML) based methods for the real-time monitoring of injection-induced microseismic events during enhanced geothermal stimulations. I am also interested in developing and utilizing data-based or physical-based methods for exploring the Earth's interior.
