statistical seismologist at ETH Zurich, mathematician at heart.
interested in earthquake forecasting, strange loops, and everything in between.
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)

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.

Am I the luckiest person ever to be on the top of Mauna Kea when there is a comet passing by?

The floor is lava: HARD mode. (everything is lava)

What an amazing start to our fieldwork this week: comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS over Kīlauea

If there's anything you always wanted to know about operational earthquake forecasting (OEF), it's probably in there! Theory on models and testing, OEF systems used in Italy, New Zealand, and the United States, an expert elicitation on the topic, and an outlook on the future of OEF. (4/4)

just-published review article "developing, testing and communicating earthquake forecasts: current practices and future directions" https://doi.org/10.1029/2023RG000823 (open access, thanks ‪@ethzurich.bsky.social)
A huge collaborative effort of earthquake forecasting experts around the world! (3/4)

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...

⭐ new publication! ⭐ I'm thrilled that our paper on how we developed and tested a suite of #earthquake #forecasting model candidates for #Switzerland is out in BSSA: pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/bssa/art...

Mine got a little snowed in here in Zurich, but I think they're alright 🌻

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!
