Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher works on seismic imaging and geophysical methods, with a strong focus on applying these techniques to urban and infrastructure settings, such as monitoring tunneling operations, mapping underground structures, and assessing soil and rock properties. Recent work combines classic seismic and geotechnical analysis with modern computational tools like deep learning and Bayesian inference to improve subsurface imaging and risk assessment in engineering projects.
