Dr. Julian Lozos uses computer modeling to investigate the physics of earthquake rupture. He is particularly interested in how fault complexity affects the earthquake process, and on interactions between individual faults within a larger system. He completed his PhD at UC Riverside in 2013, and did postdoctoral research at UC Berkeley, USGS Menlo Park, and Stanford before coming to CSUN in 2016. He plans to continue modeling interactions between the strike-slip faults of the San Andreas system, as well as branching out into investigating the physics of dip-slip fault interactions, and into looking at real-world systems of faults outside of California.
