Shuo Ma (Ph.D., 2006 UC Santa Barbara) - earthquake source physics, numeical simulation of earhtquakes source dynamics, wave propagation in complex media, and ground motion estimation. He uses field observations, e.g., ground motion, GPS, seismicity, and off-fault damage, among others to constrain features of his simulations, such as rupture initiation, propagation, and healing.
Kim Olsen (Ph.D.,
1994 University of Utah) - seismology, 3-D simulation of wave propagation using
finite differences, strong ground motion and site amplification, earthquake
dynamics, non-linear effects in strong ground motion, parallel and
high-performance computing, visualization and animation.
