Alice Gabriel

Alice Gabriel is an Associate Professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego, affiliated with the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (IGPP). Her research focuses on seismology and earthquake physics using high-performance computing to simulate earthquake mechanisms across multiple space-time scales.

Her educational background includes:

• Habilitation in Earthquake Physics, LMU Munich, Germany (2022)
• PhD in Seismology, Swiss Seismological Service, ETH Zurich, Switzerland (2013)
• Diplom (MSc) in Theoretical Physics, Technical University Dresden, Germany (2008)
• Certificate of Proficiency in Geophysics and Geology, University of Auckland, New Zealand (2006)
• Vordiplom (BSc) in Physics, Technical University Dresden, Germany (2004)

Professor Gabriel bridges geophysics, computer science, and applied mathematics through physics-based simulations on supercomputers combined with data-driven techniques and theoretical analysis. Her work addresses multi-physics geophysical problems to integrate Earth observations with novel modeling approaches for understanding earthquake mechanisms.

She conducts research within the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at Scripps, leveraging large-scale computational resources in a collaborative geophysical research environment.
