My research focuses on using data from near-surface geophysical methods for seismic site characterization. This information is used to estimate earthquake site response and ground motions, models of which are applied in the development of the USGS National Seismic Hazard Mapping Project. name: Sean Kamran Ahdi name_qualifier: null orcid: 0000-0003-0274-5180 organization_link: https://www.usgs.gov/programs/earthquake-hazards organization_name: Earthquake Hazards Program personal_statement: EducationPh.D., UCLA, 2018, Civil Engineering (Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering)M.S., UCLA, 2014, Civil Engineering (Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering)B.S., UCLA, 2013, Civil EngineeringB.S., UCLA, 2013, Geology/Engineering GeologyPublicationsGoogle Scholar professional_experience: [] title: Research Geophysicist
