Biography
My current research interest is in combining attributes of induced seismicity, such as derived source mechanisms, models of fracture generation, event statistics, pumping information, etc. to develop a better understanding of how induced seismicity is generated and propagates for use in evaluating seismic hazards and developing more safe and efficient stimulation. Additionally, correlating temporally varying microseismic activity to subsurface models may give insight into how fracturing develops and what observations can be used to monitor and optimize treatments in unconventional and geothermal plays.
Since July 2021, I am part of the IDAEA-CSIC group as a post-doc researcher.
