The 3-D S-wave attenuation model of the uppermost mantle beneath the Sichuan-Yunnan region. Early Career Researcher Funding from National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant:41904043, 2020-2022). (Primary Investigator)
The high-frequency ground motion induced by earthquakes in the Sichuan-Yunnan region. Postdoctoral Funding from the 65th China Postdoctoral Science Foundation (2019-2020). (Primary Investigator)
I simulate coda-correlation wavefield and calculate the sensitivity kernels of the features in the coda-correlation wavefield.
I apply ambient noise full-waveform inversion to image the 3-D S-wave velocity of the crust and uppermost mantle beneath the Macquarie Ridge Complex using OBS data.
I have been working on building high-resolution 3-D seismic velocity models for the lithosphere of the Sichuan-Yunnan region (China) using adjoint tomography method since 2020.
Developing 3-D velocity models for the uppermost mantle beneath the Australian continent and lithosphere of the Sichuan-Yunnan region based on the ray-based method.
Numerical simulation of the high-frequency ground motion caused by earthquakes in the Sichuan-Yunnan region and Australian continent.
Imaging the crustal Lg-wave attenuation of the Australian continent and Sichuan-Yunnan region.
Exploring the seismic characteristics of some special earthquakes such as the earthquakes caused by the 15 February 2013 bolide explosion in Chelyabinsk, Russia, and the nuclear explosion in North Korea.

As a geophysicist in space and planetary science, I specialize in exploring large datasets and using novel methods to explore planetary interiors. I have developed and applied innovative tools to scan planetary interiors, such as crustal and mantle structures. Additionally, I am currently involved in several projects related to Australia’s space exploration and defence initiatives, where my expertise in seismology plays a critical role.
