Andrea is a seismologist in the LLNL Seismology Group and Program Lead for the Seismic Cooperation Program. She has worked on broadband waveform modeling and source inversions of underground explosions, and earthquakes in the Middle East, Caucasus, and Central Asia. She is experienced in running full wavefield simulations on high-performance computing systems to model explosion and earthquake sources and wave propagation.
