About me

I’m a Senior Research Scientist (Lead, Data Science and Business Intelligence Generalist) at Verisk Extreme Event Solution (formerly Air Worldwide). I now work on seismic hazard forecast (PSHA and PFDHA). I used to study the earthquake rupture dynamic and earthquake ground-motion and fault-displacement hazard via high-performance computing
