My research focus is the analysis of earthquake ground motions for engineering applications. I analyze recorded motions to characterize the processes that control how severe the seismic shaking will be at a site. This enables me to develop models that predict the motions that are expected from future earthquakes. This information allows earthquake engineers to design buildings and industrial facilities to withstand the expected earthquake shaking. Information is provided to engineers for use in building codes and site-specific analyses for critical facilities. Other related research developments have enabled rapid calculation of ground motions to provide early warning of potential earthquake damage and mitigate its consequences.

我的研究重点是地震地面运动的工程应用分析。 我分析记录的运动来描述控制地震震动在一个地点有多严重的过程。 这使我能够开发出预测未来地震运动的模型。 这些信息使地震工程师能够设计建筑物和工业设施，以承受预期的地震震动。 向工程师提供信息，用于建筑规范和关键设施的特定场地分析。 其他相关的研究发展使快速计算地面运动成为可能，以便对潜在的地震破坏提供早期预警并减轻其后果。
