Research Interests
My major research interest has been on integrated field and laboratory studies to determine mechanical and transport properties of fault zones towards understanding the mechanisms of earthquakes. I am particularly interested in revealing the interactions between physical, chemical and biological processes operating within seismogenic fault zones.
