Wissenschaftliche Interessen:

  • Earthquake Source analysis (kinematic inversions, slow silent earthquakes, stress drop analysis)
  • Engineering Seismology  (ground-motion models, 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
