Kadek Hendrawan Palgunadi

My research experiences include earthquake source physics, numerical modeling, seismic delay time tomography, and earthquake monitoring. Currently, my research includes dynamic rupture simulation on geometrically complex faults, high frequency earthquake source model, and machine learning in earthquake source. Also, I am interested in observational seismology and high performance computing.

I am an Assistant Professor in Geophysical Engineering at Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS), Indonesia and a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Swiss Seismological Service (SED), ETH Zurich, Switzerland. My research focuses on Earthquake Dynamics and Deep Learning in Seismology and I'm the Principal Investigator of the Earthquake Mechanics Research Group at ITS.

I completed my PhD in Earth Science and Engineering at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Martin Mai. My research interests include earthquake rupture dynamics, induced seismicty, deep learning in seismology, and earthquake source mechanics.
