Biography
Ruoyan Wang is a third-year PhD student in the Earth Sciences Department at USC. She completed her undergrad at the School of the Gifted Young at the University of Science and Technology in China, in 2022.
She is passionate about using seismology to explore the Earth across different scales, ranging from the structure deep inside like the inner core and the core-mantle boundary, to shallower processes such as crustal stress states and the directional amplification of ground motion.
She loves birdwatching and learning languages! Her favorite birds are red-flanked bluetail and puffin.
