Dr Louisa Brotherson is an experimental seismologist whose work looks at the interaction of fault behaviour and earthquakes, with a particular focus on source properties, fault frictional properties and seismic hazard analysis. Her thesis research connected fault behaviour in nature to observed behaviour in laboratory analogues experiments, with a critical focus on fault stability and implications for ground motion models used for risk mitigation.
Before joining BeZero, Louisa worked in policy at The Royal Society where she led research and consultation projects and contributed to two reports on online misinformation and regional absorptive capacity. She is also an experienced science communicator, having presented her research at several international conferences and created content for blogs, podcasts, workshops and TV.
