== Josimar Alves da Silva Jr. ==
==== Graduate Student ====
I am a graduate student at the [[http://eapsweb.mit.edu/| Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS) |title="EAPS Dept"]] department. Prior to MIT, I received a BS in Geophysics and worked as an exploration geophysicist in the oil & gas industry for five years.

My research is largely related to Geomechanics and Induced Seismicity, with a focus in numerical models. During my PhD, I have also worked in Geophysical problems related to wave propagation in heterogenous media and rock physics applications for shale gas exploration.   

In a broad sense, my research areas spans:

 * '''Computational Geomechanics''' 
 * '''Crustal Deformation and Slow Slip Earthquakes''' 
 * '''Induced Seismicity'''
 * '''Multiphase Flow in Porous and Fractured Media''' 
 * '''Scattering of Seismic Waves in Heterogeneous Media'''
