Introduction: Piyush Agram Visitor in Geophysics Radar algorithms and processing group, JPL Ph.D., 2010, Electrical Engineering Stanford University California Institute of Technology Seismological Laboratory 1200 E.

Mudd Building, Rm 265E Pasadena, CA 91125 Phone: (626) 395-3644 Fax: (626) 564-0715 Email: piyush@gps.caltech.edu Research My research focuses on developing new time-series radar interferometry techniques for studying temporal characteristics of surface deformation due to various geophysical phenomena. I'm particularly interested in the multi-dimensional phase unwrapping problem and its application to improving surface deformation estimates from Persistent Scatterers (PS) and Small Baseline (SBAS) techniques. I work with Prof. Mark Simons and primarily, apply my techniques to study the aseismic creep across the Central San Andreas Fault.
