Biography

I am a geophysicist interested in exploring seismic data to understand the earth that we live on. I received my bachelor’s and Ph.D. degrees in physics and geophysics from National Tsing Hua University Taiwan (2000) and the University of Colorado Boulder (2009), respectively. I worked at Caltech Seismological Laboratory with a Director’s Post Doc Fellowship between 2011 and 2013. I joined the University of Utah as a tenure-track faculty member in 2013. In 2015, I received the prestigious Charles F. Richter Early-Career Award from the Seismological Society of America.
