My research focuses on the physics of fluids in porous media and their fundamental role in shaping the temporal and spatial distribution of earthquakes and aftershocks. I investigate how fluid, whether sourced from the mantle or released through devolatilization in tectonically active settings, govern complex thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical (THMC) processes that drive fluid–rock interactions and induce seismicity. To address these questions, I take an interdisciplinary approach that integrates geophysical observations, structural geology, and process-based simulations, aiming to develop predictive frameworks for tectonic and fluid processes across geological scales.
By bridging fundamental insights into natural tectonic phenomena with applied challenges, my work contributes to the sustainable use of the subsurface, particularly in contexts such as CO₂ storage and geothermal energy. Ultimately, my goal is to advance climate resilience and mitigate seismic risk through rigorous scientific inquiry and innovative solutions for sustainable subsurface energy initiatives.
