Mostafa Mousavi is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University. His research focuses on observational earthquake seismology, employing artificial intelligence to process large seismic datasets and gain insights into earthquake characteristics and dynamics. His work reflects an interdisciplinary blend of seismology, statistics, and computer science, emphasizing the extraction of information from the Earth's physical processes through seismic signals. Dr. Mousavi leverages the power of AI to analyze noisy, incomplete, and high-dimensional data, using advanced techniques to characterize source/path/site effects and understand the dynamics of seismicity across various scales. His academic journey started with a Ph.D. in Geophysics from the University of Memphis, where he specialized in signal processing, machine learning, and seismicity analysis. Before joining Harvard, he served as a Senior Research Scientist at Google, contributing to the development of one of the world’s largest Earthquake Early Warning systems, and has held positions at Stanford University throughout his career.
