Shujuan Mao

Shujuan Mao is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin, part of the Jackson School of Geosciences. She holds a B.S. from Peking University, a Ph.D. from MIT, and conducted postdoctoral research at Stanford University and the Institut des Sciences de la Terre in France.

Her research focuses on environmental seismology, hydrogeophysics, and geothermal energy, with an emphasis on understanding subsurface fluid dynamics using seismic interferometry. Key areas include groundwater monitoring, carbon sequestration, and volcanic unrest. She leads the 'Seismo4D' research group, which develops cutting-edge seismic techniques for 4D subsurface imaging.

Mao's work spans academic contributions (over 15 peer-reviewed articles), student supervision (two current advisees), and international collaborations. Her group actively recruits PhD students and postdocs interested in environmental seismology and energy transition challenges.
