My research centers on leveraging fiber sensing technologies and dense seismic sensor networks for geophysical applications. By capturing vibrations from human activities and natural events such as ocean waves and earthquakes, my group develops methods to interpret the underlying mechanisms and subsurface structures driving these processes, including volcanic system dynamics and earthquake physics. With the rise of fiber sensing, we are exploring innovative approaches to create new environmental sensors that track both short- and long-term climate-related changes. I am also interested in using specialized sensor deployments in remote areas, such as glaciers and large volcanic systems, to investigate complex geophysical mechanisms. Additionally, our research aims to design advanced early warning systems for volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis using long-term seismic arrays based on telecommunications fibers.
