PhD
1. Growth of Tibetan Plateau: Imaging the crust of Northern Tibet with ambient noise tomography. Supervised by Dr. Yingjie Yang
2. Down under down under: Using multi-scale seismic tomography to image beneath Australia’s Great Artesian Basin. Supervised by Dr. Yingjie Yang
Research Interests
I am interested in interpreting the crustal structures, both in surface-level through integration of field mapping and seismic-section analysis, and in middle/deep crust-level through seismic tomography method. My current research is mainly applying the ambient noise surface wave tomography (ANT) method to image the crustal structures of northern Tibetan Plateau. I am also doing joint inversion of surface wave dispersion curves, computed from ANT method, and receiver functions to better constrain the velocity structures for this area. Additionally, we aim to further develop the ANT technique to make it applicable for studying structures in basins and underlying basements, which will first be applied to the Artesian Basin in northeastern part of Australian continent.
