aseismic slip on highly stressed fault segments may drive delayed triggering. Her studies establish new links between coseismic dynamic & static stress transfer, post-seismic deformation, and time-dependent fault failure.

framework that links dynamic rupture simulations with quasi-dynamic rate-and-state earthquake-cycle calculations, she shows that transient stress changes alone cannot explain the observed 34-hour delay between the M 6.4 foreshock and the M 7.1 mainshock. Instead, the progressive evolution of

Her second paper, as a companion paper extends this framework to investigate how dynamic stress perturbations, static Coulomb stress changes, & aseismic afterslip together control the delayed triggering of large earthquakes. She applies her analyses to the 2019 Ridgecrest sequence. Using a modeling

realistic sequences of slow slip, earthquake clustering, and partial ruptures. The resulting fault behavior spans from quasi-periodic to highly intermittent, depending on the degree of heterogeneity. Her results may help to explain the wide spectrum of faulting behavior observed in nature.

the spatiotemporal complexity of seismic and aseismic slip. In these simulations, she systematically varies the amplitude and wavelength of stress heterogeneity on strike-slip faults and finds that interactions between strongly velocity-weakening patches & velocity-strengthening regions can produce

The team is developing a real-time tsunami forecasting system using an advanced digital twin framework that reduces what would normally require 50 years of supercomputing time to less than a second—a breakthrough that could transform early warnings for coastal communities.
