Research interests

Correlation Wavefield; Seismic Scattering; Waveform Modeling; Seismic Structure in the Lowermost Mantle

I am an observational seismologist. My current research centers on correlation seismology and its applications in exploring the Earth's structure to better understand the dynamic and evolution of the Earth. My previous research is to improve the resolution of Earth's structure by using high-frequency scattered seismic waves based on array processing and waveform modeling methods.
