• Volcanic and tectonic deformation
• Fluid injection and extraction impacts
• Seafloor monitoring via offshore platforms
• DEM generation for hazard modeling
• Post-seismic deformation analysis
• Glacial dynamics in polar regions

Scientific Awards
Deng has received:

• NASA Earth and Space Science Fellowship (NESSF), 2017-2020
• Richard A. Davis Endowed Fellowship, University of South Florida, 2020
