I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Geophysics at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) , working in the Laboratory of DAta Mining for Seismology (DAMS) under the supervision of Prof. Zefeng Li. I completed my bachelor's degree at USTC, co-advised by Prof. Zefeng Li and Prof. Yan Hu. In the summer of 2019, I was a visiting student at Caltech working with Prof. Robert Clayton and Prof. Zachary Ross.
My current research interests include:
- Machine Learning in Seismology: ML applications to event clustering and new seismological discoveries.
- Earthquake Physics: Evolution and properties of foreshocks, aftershocks, and mainshocks.
- Earthquake Cycle: Simulation of coseismic and postseismic deformation.
I am currently visiting at the Université Côte d'Azur, Geoazur Laboratory in Nice, France, working with Prof. Jean-Paul Ampuero.
