Seismic hazard estimates, currently based on a sparse catalog of strong ground motion records from stations close to large earthquakes, will increasingly be based upon realistic simulations of hypothetical ruptures. This challenge demands identifying the physical processes governing earthquake dynamics and describing them with mathematical models constrained by experimental and geological data. Simultaneously, efficient computational methods must be developed to model these processes. My work encompasses both of these efforts.
