Luca Dal Zilio
Assistant Professor of Geophysics, Earth Observatory of Singapore
I am an Assistant Professor of Geophysics at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore and a Principal Investigator at the Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS), leading the Computational Geophysics Lab. My research spans across earthquake physics, fault mechanics, mechanics of porous media. I am also interested in geo-energy and induced seismicity resulting from enhanced geothermal systems and CO2 sequestration.
