Research interests
-- Earth interior structure using integrated seismological techniques such as shear-wave splitting, traveltime    tomography to explore the seismic structure of the Earth and understand its geological processes. My study    region includes eastern China, western USA, and Iceland.
-- Seismic source characterization and discrimination exploring characteristics of earthquakes, volcano-
   related   earthquakes, and explosions (chemical and nuclear).
-- Earthquake processes Earthquake nucleation, earthquake prediction, and earthquake early warning.
-- Natural hazards Natural hazards and their popularization
