Alright bluesky, be ready for quakehack.ethz.ch - the first statistical #seismology #hackathon for early-career scientists.
@vaniller.bsky.social, Aron, Marta and I will bring enthusiastic people to a beautiful place where they will form groups, define projects, and work on them for a week.

🚨 QuakeHack 2025 was a blast!
Huge congrats to the winning team wave2wave 🌊 who tackled earthquake research straight from the waveforms. 🧠
They were thrilled to take home a Raspberry Shake!
📦 It’s en route to Santa Cruz – more action shots soon! 🙌

What an incredible week at #QuakeHack:
A statistical seismology hackathon for early-career researchers in the Swiss mountains. 19 people from around the world, four teams, four self-defined projects.
We spent the week learning from each other, exploring new ideas, and figuring things out together.

#QuakeHack starts this Sunday! 💫
Together with Aron, Marta, and @vaniller.bsky.social, I can't wait to welcome a fantastic group of early-career scientists to Castasegna to tackle unsolved problems in statistical seismology. We were lucky to select incredibly enthusiastic and diverse participants!

With so many new people, time for a new intro: I came from pure maths to statistical seismology 5 years ago, and I love it! 🤩 whenever volcano friends need help in the field, you'll find me happily hiking unbelievable landscapes. But usually, I'll be behind my computer, just as excited (almost)

So excited about my first adult paper (without my supervisor!). For earthquake forecasting, computationally heavy simulations are usually needed to get the expected aftershock numbers. Together with Dario, we do the same thing 4 million times faster using machine learning. doi.org/10.1785/0220...

So, now that we've all made it to #EGU24 and are already overwhelmed by all the science, may I challenge you to stay until the very end? I will say something about higher-order aftershock modeling, but the whole session should be cool and worth staying alive for until then!
