Mehran Hosseini successfully defended his Ph.D. dissertation on “Assessing Induced Seismicity Rate Increase Based on Deterministic and Probabilistic Modeling”. His dissertation addresses key questions surrounding earthquakes related to wastewater disposal. Mehran’s publications previously have been featured in LA Times, Times Magazine and Fortune Magazine. Through the model and simulator developed during the course of his Ph.D. studies at USC, operators may reduce and mitigate the risk of induced seismicity.
