About
Dr. Yihe Huang is a seismologist who studies the physical mechanisms of earthquakes and faulting processes using both observational methods (e.g., seismic data analysis) and numerical tools (e.g., earthquake rupture simulation). She is particularly interested in how fluid, fault zone structure, and fault geometry can affect the nucleation, propagation and arrest of earthquakes, such as the megathrust and repeating earthquakes in Japan, and how earthquakes contribute to the strain budget and structural evolution of fault zones and plate boundaries. She also has a broad interest in developing physical tools for seismic hazard mitigation and bridging earthquake science and engineering applications.
