My research interests usually centre around two topics: earthquake physics and signal processing. I get particularly keen when we can combine the two: when we can take a physical process that’s hypothesized to occur in the Earth, use the physics to predict something we can observe, and then develop new techniques to make those specific observations. Some recent topics of interest include
Physics-based earthquake forecasting
Blind source separation
Earthquake source properties
Borehole strain observations and hydrology
Seismic waves from oceans and rivers
Slow earthquakes
Aseismic slip and fault structure
