== Maryam Alghannam ==

I am a PhD candidate in [[https://cse.mit.edu/programs/phd/ |Computational Science and Engineering |title="MIT CSE"]] at MIT. Prior to MIT, I obtained my MS in [[https://ce.berkeley.edu/programs/geo |Civil and Environmental Engineering (GeoSystems) |title="UCB GEO"]] from UC Berkeley in 2017 and BS in [[https://engineering.tamu.edu/petroleum/index.html |Petroleum Engineering |title="TAMU PET"]] from Texas A&M University in 2012. I also worked as a reservoir engineer in the oil and gas industry for three years. Here, I am interested in studying induced seismicity and fault poromechanics using theory and simulation. 


Research interests:

 * Fluid pressurization effect on frictional stability. 
 * Slip dynamics at heterogeneous interfaces. 
 * Macro and microscopic basis of friction. 
 * Energy partitioning during an earthquake.
