Research interests

Currently, Siyuan's research involves:

1. Investigating the interactions between the tectonic earthquakes and volcanic behaviours based on the SAR and optical satellites.

2. Speed-of-Light earthquake and tsunami detection based on the advanced low-frequency gravitational-force sensors, TorPeDO, for prompt elasto-gravity signal.
