The Student Outstanding Presentation Award (OSPA) recognizes scientific excellence and outstanding presentation skills. It is awarded only for the upper 2-5% presenters and the oral presentation was recognized for observations of non-uniform pre-​slip with DSS measurements in experiments conducted in the LabQuake rock deformation apparatus.

Oral Presentation: Laboratory Observations Linking Fault Surface Characteristics to the Onset and Evolution of Frictional Sliding and Off-fault Damage

Conference: American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting 2022 Chicago, IL, USA

Award at AGU Fall Meeting 2022

This 4-​day summer school was held from the 18th to the 21st of July, 2022 in Zurich, Switzerland. It was co-organized by ETH Zurich and EPFL, with a strong focus on the fundamentals of fracture, friction, and elastodynamics and their application in the development of physics-based models of fault slip. Thirty international participants benefited from the expertise of world-renowned speakers while developing their research and presentation skills via poster sessions and workshops.

Have a heart for ETH Zurich
