Ross R Maguire

Ross R Maguire is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth Science and Environmental Change at the University of Illinois. His research focuses on planetary seismology, particularly Marsquake analysis, seismic data interpretation, and applications of deep learning in geophysical signal processing. He has contributed to studies using data from NASA's InSight mission to Mars, investigating Mars' interior structure, core dynamics, and tectonic activity.

His work combines advanced computational methods with traditional seismology to address questions about planetary interiors, magma systems, and seismic event discrimination. Key areas include:

• Seismic waveform analysis of Marsquakes (e.g., S1222a)
• Generalization of deep-learning models for earthquake/explosion classification
• Tomographic imaging of volcanic systems (e.g., Yellowstone, Hawaii)

Recent publications explore Mars' upper mantle structure, core-transiting phases, and the application of neural networks to diverse geologic settings. Collaborations span international teams and interdisciplinary projects, such as the InSight mission and the CRESCENT Cascadia velocity modeling initiative.
