Shun Zhang
Research Fellow · Optical Fiber Sensing
California Institute of Technology (Caltech)About
Shun Zhang is a Postdoctoral Scholar Research Associate in Geophysics at California Institute of Technology since 2023. His research focuses on seismic imaging, optical fiber sensing, and geothermal heat flow analysis.
Education
- Ph.D. in Geophysics, University of Colorado Boulder (2023), advised by Michael Ritzwoller
- B.S. in Geophysics, Wuhan University (2017), advised by Xiaodong Song
Research Themes
Zhang's work bridges seismic ambient noise and machine learning to study Antarctic subglacial conditions, subduction zones, and oceanic heat transport. His optical fiber sensing projects combine geophysics with marine monitoring applications like whale tracking.
Publication Trends
Zhang's publications (2019–2025) emphasize seismic tomography, fiber-optic sensing, and machine learning in geophysical contexts, including studies of Icelandic dike intrusions, Cascadia subduction, and Antarctic heat flux dynamics.
Current Activities
- Actively seeking faculty positions
- Presenting at AGU (2025, 2024, 2023) and SSA conferences
- Contributing to Caltech SeismoLab seminars and collaborative projects
