Biography

I use geodetic methods, including Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), to investigate the characteristics of faults responsible for destructive earthquakes in Asia. I also analyze post-earthquake deformation observed by InSAR and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) to better understand fault mechanics. My goal is to contribute to advances in tectonics and earthquake science that can help improve societal resilience to damaging earthquakes.

I am currently a PhD student at the Earth Observatory of Singapore – Remote Sensing Lab (EOS–RS), Asian School of the Environment, Nanyang Technological University, supervised by Sang-Ho Yun, PhD. Before joining NTU, I worked as a Science Research Specialist at the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) from 2014 to 2021.
