Oluwaseun obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Applied Geophysics from the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Nigeria, in 2011. At OAU, he developed some empirical equations relating to formation resistivity and cone tip resistance in Nigeria's sedimentary and basement terrains.
He later continued his graduate studies here at Boston College in 2013 and obtained a Master of Science degree. His research focused on detecting induced seismicity due to oil and gas extraction in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Apart from his dissertation at BC, he also contributed to the Operational Earthquake Forecasting System for New England.
While at the Center for Earthquake Research and Information (CERI) at the University of Memphis for his PhD program, his research focused on waveform and geodynamic modeling of seismicity associated with the Charlevoix Seismic Zone, Canada. His research employs source mechanisms, wave propagation, clustering algorithms and geodynamic modeling.
Currently, Oluwaseun works as a postdoctoral scholar at the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon. His research focuses on the 3D kinematics and the crustal deformation of tsunami earthquakes (TsE) to understand how including the 3D structure of a subduction zone such as the wedge, the slab, and the overlying crustal structure impacts the time-dependent crustal deformation measured by high-rate global navigation satellite system (HR-GNSS).
