Yosuke Aoki

Dr. Yosuke Aoki received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, in 2001. He was then a Lamont Postdoctoral Fellow at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, NY, United States, between 2001 and 2003. He took afaculty position at Earthquake Research Institute at the University of Tokyo in 2003 and has been there since then. His primary expertise is observing and modeling the deformation of the Earth’s surface associated with seismic and volcanic activity mainly from space geodetic techniques such as GNSS and SAR. For example, he has revealed the magma plumbing system of active volcanoes by combining geodetic data with independent information such as seismic and electromagnetic observations and petrological insights. He is also interested in technical developments to extract hidden information in the data and to gain insights into the mechanics of earthquakes and volcanic activity. He has published more than 90 peer-reviewed articles during his career.
