Javier Ojeda Vargas
PhD candidate
Institute de Physique du Globe de Paris & Universidad de Chile
Santiago, Chile
I employ geodetic and seismological tools to explore a wide range of tectonic processes, such as earthquakes, transient deformation in subduction zones and active faults, strong ground motions, and the impact of seismic hazards on society.
