About Me
Publications
Xiaofeng Meng is currently a research staff at SCEC. He focuses on improving seismic hazard analysis. His work involves validating CyberShake ground motion simulations, developing methodology for non-ergodic ground motion models, studying near-fault ground motions and precariously balanced rocks.
Xiaofeng Meng has a bachelor degree in physics from Beijing Normal University in China. Xiaofeng then earned his doctor degree in geophysics at Georgia Institute of Technology working on various earthquake triggering mechanisms. Before joining SCEC, he was a postdoc fellow at University of Washington and studied the seismicity under Mount St. Helens using an ultra-dense array.
