I am a Thai earth­quake sci­en­tist spe­cial­iz­ing in active faults, dis­trib­uted fault sys­tems, and shear zones. My work focus­es on how the ground deforms in an earthquake—both along faults and across broad­er, more com­plex zones of defor­ma­tion. I have stud­ied fault sys­tems in South­east Asia and the East­ern Cal­i­for­nia Shear Zone, where under­stand­ing rup­ture behav­iour of hid­den or seg­ment­ed faults is crit­i­cal for improv­ing earth­quake haz­ard assess­ments.

I use tools such as InSAR (Inter­fer­o­met­ric Syn­thet­ic Aper­ture Radar), remote sens­ing, tec­ton­ic geo­mor­phol­o­gy, field map­ping, and 3D fault mod­el­ling to char­ac­ter­ize ground defor­ma­tion and fault kine­mat­ics. I inves­ti­gate fac­tors like fault struc­tur­al matu­ri­ty and shal­low slip deficits to explore how these may inform future seis­mic haz­ards.

Cur­rent­ly based at The Uni­ver­si­ty of Mel­bourne, I am col­lab­o­rat­ing with Geo­science Aus­tralia on the Dis­as­ter Ready Fund project, sup­port­ed by the Nation­al Emer­gency Man­age­ment Agency of Aus­tralia, to assess and improve the under­stand­ing of earth­quake haz­ards in South Aus­tralia. As part of this work, I am also devel­op­ing the Com­mu­ni­ty Fault Mod­el (CFM) for South Aus­tralia.

I am pas­sion­ate about bridg­ing earth­quake sci­ence with real-world appli­ca­tions. I work close­ly with engi­neers, the nation­al seis­mic haz­ard mod­el­ling team, and com­mu­ni­ty stake­hold­ers to ensure that this research sup­ports evi­dence-based seis­mic haz­ard mod­els and strength­ens com­mu­ni­ty resilience.
