Curriculum Vitae
BIOGRAPHY
Harry Linang earned his PhD in Computational Seismology from the University of Cambridge in 2023. His doctoral research focused on unraveling the crustal seismic structure of Borneo and Sulawesi, providing new insights into their tectonic evolution.
With expertise spanning both Seismology and Geology, he aims to bridge the gap between these disciplines to advance our understanding of Earth's dynamic processes. His work, particularly in Southeast Asia, reflects a strong commitment to expanding scientific knowledge of regional tectonics and seismic activity.
