Roby Douilly

Roby Douilly is Assistant Professor of Seismology at University of California, Riverside. Douilly was born and rasied in a subburb of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Experiencing the 2010 7.0 magnitute Haiti earthquake, Douilly decided to study geophysics. He found his opportunity at Purdue University, where he received his master’s and PhD in Geophysics. He’s written on seismology, tomography, Earthquake source mechanisms, and dynamic rupture modeling related to the 2010 Haiti earthquake. At UC Riverside, Douilly’s research focuses on understanding the structure and dynamics of the Earth’s crust through the use of seismic imaging techniques and on investigating the effects of fault geometry and background stress on earthquake rupture propagation using computational models.
