Function and Responsibilities:
- Head of Section 2.6 “Seismic Hazard and Stress Field”, GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences
- W3 Professor in Geophysics at the University of Potsdam
Research Interests:
- Earthquake Source analysis (kinematic inversions, slow silent earthquakes, stress drop analysis)
- Engineering Seismology (ground-motion model, focus on low seismicity area)
- Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment
- Site specific and high consequences low probabilities hazard assessment (e.g. critical facilities)
- Development of new methods (e.g. Data-mining) to explore strong-motions data and evaluate epistemic uncertainties
