Research Interests


EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING.
Strong ground motion and seismic hazard at regional level with emphasis on alluvial valleys. Soil-structure and soil-structure-reservoir interactions.

SPONTANEOUS EARTHQUAKE DYNAMIC RUPTURE.
Earthquake modeling and analysis of source mechanisms.

NUMERICAL METHODS.
Integral equations and Finite Elements as applied to wave propagation problems.
