معرفی
Yihe Huang is an Associate Professor and Associate Chair for Graduate Studies in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on earthquake mechanisms, faulting processes, and seismic hazard mitigation using observational and numerical methods. She earned her Ph.D. in Geophysics from Caltech (2014). Her work investigates fault zone dynamics, fluid effects on earthquakes, subduction zone ruptures, induced seismicity, and tsunami hazards. Huang has led NSF-funded studies on Cascadia subduction zone modeling and contributed to the SCEC/USGS stress drop validation projects. She actively mentors graduate students/postdocs and collaborates on projects linking earthquake science with engineering applications. Her lab's recent work includes studies on fault damage evolution, Cascadia tsunami risks, and induced seismicity in energy industries.
