Meet Batul Nemr, a first-year PhD student with roots in Brazil and Lebanon. Her research dives into earthquake physics using advanced simulators, with the ambitious goal of improving earthquake forecasting and seismic hazard assessment. Batul’s work is connected to the IASPEI – International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth’s Interior.
Curious about Batul’s journey and how she became a rising scientist in seismology?

Batul focuses on earthquake interactions along the Levant Fault System, stretching from the Red Sea to southern Turkey. In her interview, she explains how seismologists study different fault models to understand earthquake potential, and shares how she aims to enhance hazard estimates for safer communities.
