BIO
I am a geophysicist specializing in seismic data analysis to better understand the Earth’s structure and processes. I earned my bachelor's and M.S. degrees in physics from National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan (2000), and Drexel University (2005), respectively, followed by a Ph.D. in geophysics from the University of Colorado Boulder (2009). From 2011 to 2013, I was a Director’s Postdoctoral Fellow at the Caltech Seismological Laboratory. I joined the University of Utah as a tenure-track faculty member in 2013. In recognition of my work, I received the prestigious Charles F. Richter Early-Career Award from the Seismological Society of America and an NSF CAREER Award in 2015.
