Hello, and welcome to my homepage.

I am a post doctoral fellow in the Department of Earth Sciences at University of Southern California and
a Visitor in Aeronautics at California Institute of Technology


I am currently working with Prof. Charlie Sammis and Prof. Ares Rosakis on problems related to
earthquake source mechanics.
 

My research interests are 

Damage Mechanics
Experimental Mechanics (Dynamic Photo-Elasticity Techniques)
Numerical simulation of rupture dynamics (boundary integral equation & finite
element methods)
Earthquake rupture through branched and onset fault systems
Off-fault damage due to earthquake rupture propagation
Elastic-Plastic rupture dynamics
Parallel computation
Earthquake cycle dynamics and rupture through complex geometries
