معرفی
Eric Dunham is a Professor of Geophysics at Stanford University, affiliated with the Department of Geophysics and the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering. He leads the SDSS Center for Computation and holds a PhD from the University of California, Santa Barbara (2005) and a BS from the University of Virginia (2000). His research focuses on computational simulations of geophysical phenomena such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, and ice dynamics, emphasizing numerical methods and wave propagation. Key projects include earthquake rupture dynamics, volcano seismology, and atmospheric-seismic interactions.
Research interests span fluid-induced seismicity, caldera collapse modeling, and tsunami generation. Dunham directs interdisciplinary efforts in computational geosciences, leading teams in developing codes like FDMAP and WaveQLab3D. His work bridges theory and observation, with applications to subduction zones and induced seismicity. Advising spans postdocs, PhD students (e.g., Rikuto Fukushima on adjoint methods, Mario Ruiz on volcanic eruptions), and undergraduates (e.g., Eric Berg on ice mechanics).
Roles include editorial contributions, leadership in initiatives like CRESCENT (Cascadia subduction zone studies), and software development for poroelasticity and fault modeling. His research addresses both fundamental and applied challenges in geophysical hazards and computational science.
