Sylvain Barbot is American geophysicist, and academic. He is a Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Southern California.
Education
Barbot studied earthquake physics and tectonic geodesy at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris. He relocated to the United States to study at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego (UCSD).[1] He obtained his MS in Earth Sciences from UCSD in December 2007, followed by a PhD. in Earth Sciences in 2009. Following his doctoral studies, Barbot was appointed as a Postdoctoral Scholar at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), where he conducted research from 2009 to 2012.[2]
Career
Barbot's early academic career was based in Singapore, where he served as a Nanyang Assistant Professor and National Research Fellow at the Earth Observatory of Singapore and the Asian School of the Environment,[1] within Nanyang Technological University (NTU). Then he joined the faculty of the University of Southern California (USC) within the Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, eventually rising to the rank of Professor of Earth Sciences.[citation needed] Barbot held several international academic appointments as a Visiting Professor including tenures at the Earthquake Research Institute of the University of Tokyo, the Institute of Geology of the China Earthquake Administration, Peking University, and a return to the California Institute of Technology.[2]
Research
Barbot's research focuses on the mechanics of lithospheric deformation, earthquake physics, fault dynamics, and tectonic geodesy during the seismic cycle.[2] He co-authored Interseismic Strain Accumulation on Faults Beneath Los Angeles, California, a study that used geodetic observations and numerical modeling to investigate how tectonic strain accumulates on active faults beneath the Los Angeles region.[3] He was also a member of the Earth Surface and Interior Program at NASA.[4]
