My research interests focus on the sediment movement induced tsunamis. I use numerical models to investigate the physical processes of tsunami inundation and sediment transport. An important goal of my research is to better understand the relationship between tsunami deposits and hydrodynamics and to help further assess the palaeo-tsunami hazard in tsunami-prone area. I’m also developing inversion models which could invert tsunami source parameters from tsunami waveforms and surveyed tsunami data.
