Yosuke AokiYosuke Aoki received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Tokyo in 2001. He was then a Lamont Postdoctoral Fellow at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University between 2001 and 2003. He took a faculty position at Earthquake Research Istitute in 2003 and has been there since then. His primary expertise is observing and modeling the deformation of the Earth's surface associated with seismic and volcanic activity mainly from space geodetic techniques such as GNSS and SAR. For example, he has revealed the magma plumbing system of active volcanoes by combining geodetic data with independent information such as seismic and electromagnetic observations and petrological insights. He is also interested in technical developments to extract hidden information in the data and to gain insights into the mechanics of earthquakes and volcanic activity. He has published more than 60 peer-reviewed articles during his career. Read More Read Less
