Yesterday I passed my PhD defence viva with minor corrections!! 2.5h of validation and engaging discussions with my examiners and I truly enjoyed every second of it 🥹❤️ My friends also made a delicious Switch-Seismogram lemon-flavoured viva cake (soo awesome!)

Last year I was roadtripping with @katdapre.bsky.social to SF for #AGU and the coolest lookin car drove past. I texted them on IG asking if they were going to AGU too and they weren't 😅 they just really loved rocks and we made a random cool rock-loving friend while out on the road that day

⭐️ Models struggle with small events (Mw < -0.5) possibly due to:
1. Limited training on low SNR, small events
2. Long detection windows during high seismic rates can make small events less detectable in the same window as larger events. Shorter windows can lessen this effect

⭐️ DL pickers performed well without retraining, with the best detecting 95% of our 38k-event benchmark
⭐️ They can add up to 40% more detections in this case (totalling >50k events)!
⭐️ They can produce false positives, so validation is key (we use event move-out in our paper)

Fun fact: one of the GPS stations we visited actually experienced a forest fire a week after deployment 😅 so I guess you could say this GPS station was on fiyaahhh 🔥🔥

Two of the most aesthetic looking INGV GPS sites overlooking the region of Abruzzo, Italy. Very happy to be collaborating with this team :D

It's fun to visit the I-N-G-V!
Amazing views at their office in L'Aquila where the city experienced a Mw 6.3 earthquake in 2009. The city is still recovering from the devastation 15 years ago but it is genuinely such a charming and sunny Italian city in the valley 🌄

Day 2 at Brecon Beacons. Weather was perfect for seismic refraction, nice and gloomy (but dry at least). Done some buffalo gun shots which sounded very cool, and more curious cows 🐄

I was told to keep the bus running for a fieldtrip.
Bus: has sensor to shout at user if door is open.
Since keys are in bus, I got into the driver's seat so it doesn't lock me out.
Bus: also shouts at user to use seatbelt.
Can't believe I got bullied by AI to drive this bus lol

Built a Lego seismometer and it works!!! It's alive!! 🤖👾 been going around the PhD offices telling people to shake my table 😂

Made Huge™️ nut 🥜 roast wellington logs 🪵 (boy are they large chonkers) for Christmas Eve and I think I'll be having nut roast wellington until well after the new year 😂

Also idk about everyone else but I averaged like 9km (~5.5 miles in American) just.. walking around the #AGU23 moscone center everyday 🤣

It's been a crazy week of cool science with some incredibly fun and passionate nerds, really happy to have seen and met everyone at #AGU23 !

Today, I presented my poster this morning at #AGU23 for the first time!
Met a lot of people who engaged with my work and the feedback was very insightful 🤩
I'm feeling quite inspired to do more work when I get back to Bristol 📝🤓

Anyone going to #AGU23 ?
I'm presenting a poster this Weds morning (S31G-0413), in the Machine Learning-Driven Analysis of Geophysical Signals session. Going to talk about what type of new detections deep learning phase pickers find, so if you're interested in that please come!
