Navid Kheirdast

I'm a postdoctoral researcher at Laboratoire géologie de l'école normale supérieure since April 2022, working in the ERC-PERSISMO group supervised by Dr. Harsha​ S. Bhat.

My scientific interests are on the mechanics of earthquake sources and the physics of large earthquakes. I like working on theoretical elasticity, fracture mechanics, kinematic/dynamic inversions of earthquake sources, and machine learning. 

I obtaine my Ph.D. in 2021 from International Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Seismology (IIEES) in Iran. My background is in structural engineering, where I gratuated from University of Tehran, College of engineering. Earlier, I obtained my B.S. from Power and Water University of Technology (PWUT) campus of SBU.
