Biographical Details

I am a Lecturer in Risk Analysis jointly appointed between the UCL Dept of Statistical Science and the UCL Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction (IRDR). I recently completed my PhD at UCL IRDR. My PhD research included the statistical analysis of earthquakes using the Epidemic Type Aftershock Sequence (ETAS) model and more specifically I studied the clustering in earthquake magnitudes. I also study acoustic emissions generated during laboratory deformation of sandstone samples, which can be used as a proxy for natural processes such as earthquakes.

Research Interests

My research interests include statistical seismology, seismic hazard and rock mechanics.
