Jared Bryan is an applied physics and geology undergraduate student at Utah State University. Starting the summer of 2018, Jared interned at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) through the SCEC Summer of Undergraduate Research (SURE) program. He works with the High Performance GeoComputing group to develop techniques to solve seismic inverse problems, e.g., finite fault source inversion, using deep learning.
Prior to working with SDSC and SCEC, Jared worked with the geophysics group at Utah State University to investigate the role of asthenospheric forcing of the elastic lithosphere in predicting regional distributions of deformation. In particular, Jared is interested in determining how models using a simple viscous rheology for the lithosphere compare to those with true lithospheric elasticity in forecasting long term and short term lithospheric deformation.
