Research projects

Research interests:

Developing advanced seismology techniques for detailed seismic building assessment
Feasibility study for an earthquake early warning system for New Zealand
Developing efficient signal processing and analysis techniques to better understand the rupture physics of past large New Zealand earthquakes
Ground motion simulations for past and future large New Zealand earthquakes and their impact for civil defence, national responders and engineering communities (landslide and tsunami, geotechnical and structural)

Structural health monitoring of Wellington buildings, funded by “It’s Our Fault” itsourfault.org.nz
