Tectonic faults release stress in a variety of modes that range from earthquakes to transient slow slip and aseismic creep. My research focuses on the analysis of seismic and geodetic data with the goal of detecting small signals associated with the seismic cycle, and the nucleation and early stages of earthquakes. Most of my work is articulated around the following questions: 1) whether we can better understand the interplay between slow and regular earthquakes, 2) whether it is possible to identify new precursory signals before and in the early stages of large earthquakes, that are too small to be picked up by standard methods; 3) whether we can reach a better physical understanding of slip behavior on faults by bridging current observational gaps.

My future work will focus on combining satellite imagery and seismic data to conduct large-scale studies of active faults. Through the use and development of state-of-the-art, intelligent algorithms, I aim to better characterize slip behaviors, study the interactions between slip modes, and provide real-time slip estimates for earthquake and tsunami early warning.
