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.
