PROGRAM DIRECTOR 
Daniel’s research focuses on developing and applying new techniques to analyze large seismic datasets in order to better understand earthquake rupture processes and their links to earthquake hazards. He is broadly interested in leveraging concepts from big data and scientific machine learning to advance earthquake science. Since 2022, Trugman has been the Assistant Professor, at the Nevada Seismological Laboratory, University of Nevada Reno.
