FIELDS OF RESEARCH:

  • My main research interests are modeling of crust and upper mantle structure, Seismic Anisotropy, Induced seismicty, Volcano seismology, Seismic Tomography, Active deformations of the crust and studying mechanics of active faults using modeling method.
  • I am also very interested in the relationship between CMB and mushy zone using interferometry approach.
