Research
I am primarily interested in assessing earthquake hazards using structural geology, geomorphology, seismology, and geodesy. I have experience in seismic hazard modelling, Coulomb stress transfer modelling, and tsunami modelling.
My field experiences include geological mapping, fault mapping, coastal terrace uplift surveying, coastal microatoll surveying, and earthquake damage documentation.
As a former faculty member, I have a passion for teaching to improve the level of Earth science education in my home country. I am hoping to expand my expertise to include seismology, geodesy, and geophysics so that I may contribute to the disaster resilience of the earthquake-prone Philippine islands.
