His research mainly focuses on the geophysical characterization of near-surface processes through a wide range of methods such as electrical resistivity, induced polarization, and electromagnetics. I am particularly interested in: Prediction of soil behavior under dynamic forces (e.g., flooding, earthquake and heavy rain) by using novel methods for this purpose (e.g., complex resistivity and 3D induced polarization imaging). In this research, they aim to develop an early-warning system installed in-situ for monitoring unstable soils prone to landslides and shear failure. Currently, they are investigating the possibility of monitoring soil deformation and failure by complex resistivity methods.https://Geologic Hazards Science Center | U.S. Geological Survey (usgs.gov)

Dr. Sina is aiming to show that geophysical methods (particularly electrical methods, such as spectral induced polarization and electrical resistivity) can be used as reliable and permanent site characterization tools for monitoring areas prone to soil failure, such as active landslide zones. Although this would require developing new tools and software capable of conducting large-scale surveys and analyzing data fast and intelligently, ultimately such monitoring methods can be used as effective geo-hazard mitigation tools in the future. How To Apply:
