Bio:

Dr. Yongfei Wang is a computational seismologist focusing on simulations of dynamic earthquake ruptures and strong ground motions. He finished his Bachelor degree of Geophysics in University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2013. Then he worked with Prof Steven Day and Peter Shearer and obtained a PhD degree from the joint UCSD and SDSU Geophysics program in 2019. During PhD years, he received Paul G. Silver Young Scholar Research Enhancement Award from Green Foundation of IGPP and two times Outstanding Student Presentation Award of SSA. After graduation, he started Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) and applied physics-based dynamic rupture modeling into the seismic hazard analysis environment of SCEC, spanning from earthquake rupture forecast, ground shakemap, and coseismic fault surface displacement analysis. He chaired the 2019 AGU session: Earthquake Ground Motion Simulation (Rupture Dynamics and Seismic Wave Propagation): Theory, Validation, and Application.
