Welcome to my website

I am a PhD student at University of Miami, working with Professor Falk Amelung. My research focuses on the development and application of space geodetic techniques, i.e. Radar Interferometry (InSAR) and GPS, to study the crustal deformation of Earth. My current projects are the volcanic and interseismic deformation in Japan and Indonesia.

I received a M.Sc. in Cartography and GIS (2014) from Inst. of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (China), a B.Eng. in Remote Sensing (2011) from Wuhan University (China).

I was awarded the NASA Earth and Space Science Fellowship in 2015.

How Shinmoedake erupted

November 19, 2015

Originally posted on NATURE IN JAPAN:
On Friday last week, a lava dome about 50 meters in diameter was confirmed in the Shinmoedake crater. Shinmoedake is one of more than 20 volcanic peaks in the Kirishima mountain range. The magma is viscid, and is likened to the one at Fugendake peak in the Unzen mountain…

Freeware SAR processing (Part 1.)

September 29, 2015

One thing about working with synethic aperture radar (SAR) data is that regular image processing functions are often unsuitable. This is because most processes were design to deal with issues related to passive multispectral data in the visible-thermal infrared wavelength range. SAR imagery is derived from an active sensor which introduces particular problems or rather … More Freeware SAR processing (Part 1.)

Debugging in Python

July 17, 2015

Originally posted on Python Conquers The Universe:
As a programmer, one of the first things that you need for serious program development is a debugger. Python has a debugger, which is available as a module called pdb (for “Python DeBugger”, naturally!). Unfortunately, most discussions of pdb are not very useful to a Python newbie —…
