COMPUTATIONAL GEOSCIENTIST
A major line of Dunyu Liu’s research is physics-based earthquake source, cycle, and ground motion modeling with parallel finite-element method, and their integration with various observations such as paleoseismic and ground motion data. He has developed associated applications and software that deal with ruptures on complex faults, multicycle earthquake dynamics, rate- and state-friction-based earthquake cycles, and more.
He also conducts research and has developed software in geodynamics, Interferometic Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), planetary modeling. and climate modeling. Dunyu believes scientific software development should be clean, user-friendly, reproducible, reliable and driven by scientific questions.
