My research interests are mainly focused on seismic interferometry and seismic tomography. Seismic interferometry is a relatively new seismology method that extracts useful information from a diffusive wavefield (e.g. ambient noise and coda wavefields) that was traditionally considered as unusable noise. Over the last few years, my research has shown that the signals extracted from seismic interferometry provide important new constraints to the earth structure from shallow to deep. The potential applications of such new information include studying 3D sedimentary basin structure, regional/continental crust and upper mantle structure, volcano magma bodies, and deeper mantle and core structure. As a member of University of Utah, I am also interested in modeling the 3D structure of the Salt Lake Valley and the geometry of the Wasatch fault system to better understand the seismic hazard in the area.
