About

The study of mechanical processes along the subduction zone and the earthquake mechanics is the area, I am passionate about. My fascination for earth sciences and wanting to contribute to society are the reasons why I decided to pursue my research in the field of earthquake studies. I am trying to understand the earthquake cycle and its interaction with episodic slow slip event for my doctoral degree. It involves mechanical aspects of subduction zone tectonic based on rate state friction model as well as the role of structural and frictional asperities along the contact surface. My work consisted of numerical modelling and FEM analysis using software platforms namely, ANSYS, MATLAB, and QDYN. I also perform a friction experiment to understand the Rate State Friction law and its application in the earthquake nucleation process.
