Research Interests
Our lab conducts study of seismic cycles along subduction zones using a combination of numerical modeling, tectonic geodesy, rock mechanics. We develop software to simulate seismic cycles considering the important roles of geometry and constitutive behavior. Previous work include Weiss et al. 2019, Julve et al. 2024, Julve et al. 2025.
