Biography

My research focuses on satellite geodesy and remote sensing, with applications to earthquakes, volcanoes, tectonic deformation, and environmental change. I use InSAR, GNSS, and other geodetic observations to measure surface deformation and investigate the physical processes that drive it. I am particularly interested in earthquake-cycle deformation and fault behavior, volcanic unrest, land subsidence and coastal hazards, and in integrating satellite observations from missions such as Sentinel-1 and NISAR with geophysical modeling, data assimilation, and machine-learning approaches.
