Research Interests

I do research in seismology and tomography and I am interested in geophysical imaging, seismic imaging of crustal and lithospheric mantle structures, using passive seismic data and methods. I am currently working on the following projects:

– PACIFIC: replacing the active seismology method with enviroment friendly passive seismology method. In this project we try to use ambient noise data to extract seismic body waves and retrieve 2/3D reflection image like those from oil companies.

– Sierra Negra: Finding uppermost crustal structures of Sierra Negra Volcano, Ecuador using high resolution seismic travel-time tomography.

– Lithosphere structure beneath Ireland: : Finding crustal and probably uppermost mantel structures of Ireland by applying high resolution seismic travel-time tomography technique on quarry blasts data.
