Hi, I'm Aisling and I am a final-year PhD student at the University of Cambridge. I use seismology, structural geology, geomorphology and dynamic modelling to assess continental deformation over varying temporal and spatial scales, from singular faults to entire mountain ranges. I collaborate with industry to utilise my unique skill set as a geologist with a technical understanding of infrastructure from industrial experience to approach earthquake engineering challenges. I use my research as a step towards mitigating the seismic hazard posed to communities around the world, with a particular focus on increasing the resilience of the built environment to ground shaking in earthquakes.
