Constanza Rodriguez Piceda

Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Geocomputing and Earthquake Hazard

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences (Faculty of Science and Engineering)

Biography

Biography

I am a postdoctoral fellow part of the Quake4d project, lead by Dr. Zoe Mildon. My research focusses on physics-based modelling of earthquake cycles applied to complex fault systems in the Apennines (Italy). I have also worked in thermal and rheological modelling of the lithosphere through assimilation of geophysical and geological data. My research interests span from the role of fault networks with complex geometries in earthquake processes to the link of the lithospheric structure with the observed seismic deformation.
