D.K is a faculty at the Imperial College London. His interests center on exploring planetary interiors: from the regolith and crust of the Moon and asteroids to Mars. He has been recognized with the 2024 Charles F. Richter Early Career Award and we are working with him on novel signal processing ideas to explore Mars.
Jonathan received his PhD at Yale and is currently a Miller Postdoctoral Fellow at UC-Berkley. He studies deep Earth structures such as large-low velocity provinces, ultralow velocity zones, and the D'' discontinuity, and more rarely, planetary seismology
Dr. Wagner's research has included fieldwork internationally in Chile, Argentina, Peru, and now Colombia, and in the U.S. in Oregon, Nevada, Idaho, Georgia, North Carolina, and Delaware. Collaboration is ongoing to deploy a network of seismometers in Western Africa.
Dr. Shirzei is an expert in satellite geodesy, inverse theory, signal processing, modeling techniques, and physics of crustal deformation. We are investigating how InSAR data can improve understanding of the underlying mechanism associated with seismic and aseismic faulting processes in West Africa - i.e, the evolution of crustal stresses and seismic hazard due to fluid extraction and disposal.
Dr. Kolawole is a structural geologist. Research intersection with our group involves the integration of structural geology, near-surface geophysics, and geomechanics to understand 1) how the earth’s lithosphere breaks up, and the dynamics of natural earthquakes in areas far away from active tectonic boundaries i.e. intraplate earthquakes.
Ziqi holds BS and MS degrees in Geophysics from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and China Earthquake Administration (CEA) respectively. During his Ph.D. at URSeismo, Ziqi's work focuses on developing new techniques to improve body wave imaging in some of the harshest environments on Earth, including oceans, sediments, and glaciers.
