Computational seismology
We are dedicated to research on what is possibly best summarized as full-wave seismology from local to global scales. Most of our efforts rely on accurate numerical solutions (e.g. spectral-element methods) to the elastodynamic equations of motion, upon which we tackle various forward and inverse problems at scales ranging from earthquake rupture to deep earth imaging.
We are shareholders of ETH's Brutus computer cluster, and run several large-scale parallel production projects at the external pageSwiss National Supercomputing Center. We also work with the Computational Seismology research group and the Swiss Seismological Service and maintain many international collaborations. Additionally, we have been actively involved in and partly funded by the European Marie-Curie Initial Training Network external pageQUEST and external pagePetaquake, initiated through the Swiss National Fund call external pageHP2C. Petaquake has been featured on the ETH Life magazine and found its way into many other online media releases.
