Research Interest
Research Interests: Earthquake Seismology. Broadly speaking, my research is concerned with the analysis of seismic recordings from earthquakes and occasionally man-made sources in order to better understand geodynamic and tectonic processes. This involves both the application of standard techniques of earthquake seismology such as travel time tomography, shear wave splitting, surface wave dispersion, and receiver function analysis, but also the improvement of waveform modelling and inversion techniques, and techniques enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio for better exploitation of the data.
