Emily is a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Geophysics, CAS. She joined the group in 2025 to work on the Horizon Europe project UNDERCOVER and is developing an ambient-noise seismic tomography model of the Kuusamo Schist Belt in northern Finland.<\/p>\n
She earned her PhD from the Department of Geosciences at the University of Arizona, USA in 2023, where she focused on seismic imaging of the South American subduction zone. Her projects included continental-scale teleseismic tomography models of the mantle beneath South America and regional scale models of the northern Andes from teleseismic tomography and the joint inversion of teleseismic, local earthquake, and ambient noise data. After her PhD, she completed a postdoc at Los Alamos National Lab, where she worked with the Los Alamos Seismic Network to model the velocity structure of the Valles Caldera, New Mexico.<\/p>\n
