Research Interests

I have been involved in the analysis and application on the seismic site response and dynamic characteristics of the slope (landslide and the artificial slope) by means of the seismological methods.

In addition, the application of the various near-surface geophysical approaches for exploring sophisticated structure of the slope is also my research interest.

My current interests are

(1) Seismic response (e.g. resonance, polarization and waveform fields) on the different strata within slope by means of the in-situ seismic monitoring (strong motion and ambient noise)

(2) Relationship between the dynamic feature (e.g. resonance frequency/period of slope) and the status of slope (stress-strain and stability) and evaluation of the slope stability under dynamic circumstance.

(3) Development the near-surface geophysical method, especially seismic method on the slope

The first theme will improve our understanding how the shaking features of the different areas of the slope under the current earthquake or the potential features will occur in the next earthquake.

The second topic will reveal that how the dynamic features change with the variation the status of the slope. This may improve the estimation of the slope stability under the dynamic condition.

The third theme aims to strengthen the theory and application of the near-surface geophysical methods for detecting the inner structure within slope.
