Graduate Students and Post-Doctoral
Fellows
Gisela Viegas Fernandes
Ph.D. 2009: Thesis entitled
Earthquake Source Properties and Wave Propagation in Eastern North America.
Gisela started a post-doctoral fellowship at
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Earth Sciences Division, in September 2009.
Maya El Hariri
M.A. 2008: Thesis entitled
Seismicity Patterns and Fluid-Flow Observations From Reservoir Induced Earthquakes.
Waveform cross-correlation and relocation of seismicity from Brazil
to investigate the role of fluid diffusion in triggering earthquakes. Maya started a Ph.D. at
New Mexico Tech in Seismology in January 2008.
Katherine Murphy
M.A. 2006: Thesis entitled
The 23
December 2004 M8.1 Macquarie Ridge Earthquake. Bodywave
modelling of this large earthquake to investigate source processes and
seismotectonics. Katherine started at
Weston Geophysical
Corporation in September 2006.
Jelena Tomic
M.A. 2004: Jelena’s thesis involved Empirical
Green’s function analysis of small reservoir induced
earthquakes, including determining rupture velocity. Jelena started a
Ph.D. at
UCLA
in Geophysics in September 2004.
Karen Felzer
Ph.D. 2002, Harvard: While Karen was not officially my student, I was her
principal informal advisor. Her research involves using statistical
techniques to study the physics of earthquake interaction.
Karen
currently has a USGS Mendenhall Fellowship with the USGS in Pasadena,
California.
Takuji Yamada, Post Doctoral Fellow:
Takuji
is a JSPS Research Fellow at Tokyo University, who visited us
2005-2007. His research has focused on small earthquakes in South
African
Gold mines.
Eleanor Sonley, Post Doctoral Fellow:
January 2005 – December 2005. Eleanor worked on the source
processes of small, repeating earthquakes at Parkfield (California)
recorded by the HRSN borehole network. Now at
Binghamton University.
