PhD Student & Geophysical Engineer

Welcome! I'm Mısra.

I'm a Geophysical Engineer and PhD student working at the intersection of geodesy and seismology. I use satellite data to decode the Earth's hidden signals and understand how our planet moves and deforms. Here, I write about the science behind the seismic shifts and the computational tools we use to study them. Welcome to my scientific diary!
