AI Committee Chair - 2025
My research interests include using near-surface geophysical methods to understand how humans interact with natural Earth systems. I employ near-surface geophysical methods, including remote sensing and ground-based techniques like laser scanning, GPS, radar interferometry, ground-penetrating radar (GPR), and electrical resistivity.
By analyzing the collected data, I aim to characterize processes such as landslide deformation, volcanic inflation and deflation, and subsidence or uplift due to groundwater extraction caused by sea level change. These studies contribute to a better understanding of natural hazards and offer innovative approaches to managing natural resources.
