My research aims to deepen our understanding of Earth’s deformation across various temporal and spatial scales. I focus on fault rheology and lithospheric structure, examining their roles in earthquake cycle deformation. I study earthquake rupture processes using geodetic and seismological observations. I am also driven to investigate subduction zone geodynamics and associated hazards by imaging seismic and rheological structures.

More recently, my research interests have expanded into environmental geophysics, particularly in shallow subsurface imaging. Current projects include studying coastal erosion and cliff collapse in Norfolk, as well as exploring the shallow structure of volcanic plumbing systems in the East Caribbean volcanic arc.

If you'd like to join UEA for PhD study with funding from other sources, I am happy to talk about project ideas.
