Mingqi Liu

Welcome!

I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Southern California. My research focuses on the evolution of plate tectonics, with particular interests in both long-term tectonic deformation and short-term earthquake simulation.

My areas of expertise include:

• The opening and closure of mid-ocean ridges
• Subduction zone destruction
• Earthquake cycle simulation
• Frictional laws and physical mechanisms
• Grain size reduction mechanisms
• Advanced numerical modeling techniques

I earned my PhD in Geodynamics from ETH Zurich, where I developed extensive expertise in numerical simulations.
