معرفی
Federica Lanza is a Lecturer at the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at ETH Zurich, affiliated with the Schweiz. Erdbebendienst (SED), the Swiss Seismological Service. Her work focuses on seismology, geophysics, and geothermal systems, with expertise in induced seismicity, fault dynamics, and advanced monitoring technologies like Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS). She teaches courses such as Seismic Waves II in the Autumn Semester 2025.
Her research integrates field experiments, computational modeling, and machine learning to address challenges in seismic hazard assessment, geothermal energy development, and tectonic processes. Key areas include forecasting induced earthquakes at geothermal sites, analyzing fault interactions in fold-and-thrust belts, and developing innovative sensor systems for subsurface monitoring.
Dr. Lanza collaborates on large-scale projects like the Utah FORGE initiative, advancing techniques for real-time seismic monitoring and fracture network characterization. Her contributions bridge fundamental geophysical research with practical applications in energy systems and risk mitigation.
