My research interest is aimed at combining, theoretical, observational, and computational methods to come with a better understanding of earthquake physics.

My current research work involves to estimates crustal and uppermost mantle structure beneath North-East Caribbean plate, especially, beneath Dominican Republic by jointly modelling seismic data functionals, including Ps receiver functions, Sp receiver functions, and Rayleigh wave group velocity dispersion curves.

My future plan is to produce 3D image of variation in seismic body wave velocities using common conversion point stacking technique of Ps and Sp receiver functions and also modeling for transverse anisotropic layer using receiver function via extended multi-taper technique beneath the Hispaniola island, especially, eastern part of this island.
