Profile

Research Topic: 

Analysis of natural and anthropogenic seismic signals with a focus on array techniques to image and monitor a wide range of solid Earth and environmental phenomena associated with dynamic systems. This includes the application of seismic data processing and numerical modeling to understand the properties and the functioning of systems such as fault zones and geoenergy systems, and the interrelations with their environments.
