Research interests
My PhD research focuses on using (In)SAR data and geophysical models to explain surface deformation at active volcanic regions. I am currently studying the 2024-2025 magmatic intrusions at Fentale-Dofen, Main Ethiopian Rift.
More broadly, I am interested in utilising multi-disciplinary remote sensing and geodetic techniques to monitor natural hazards and understand their processes, which can then be used to inform hazard assessments.
I have worked on projects involving satellite observations of degassing, thermal variations and deformation at both individual volcanoes and regionally (specifically Indonesia), as well as local studies of anthropogenic subsidence. I have been involved with real-time disaster response, where SAR-derived disaster maps are used to assist humanitarian efforts in the aftermath of earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, and volcanic eruptions both in Southeast Asia and globally with regional and international stakeholders.
