Graduate Students and Post-Doctoral
Fellows
Kasey Aderhold
Kasey arrived in September 2010 after completing her B.A. in Computer Science and Environmental Science at DePauw University.
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 is now working at the
University of Utah Seismograph Network.
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 is a research scientist at the USGS in Pasadena,
California.
Takuji Yamada, Post Doctoral Fellow:
Takuji
visited us
2005-2007 as a JSPS Research Fellow at Tokyo University. His research has focused on small earthquakes in South
African
Gold mines. He is now at the Institute of Seismology and Volcanology, Hokkaido University, Japan.
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.
