Self-introduction
I am a structural geologist by training. My research integrates empirical and theoretical studies on brittle deformation utilizing field data, microstructural observations and analytical approaches. I am also interested in volcano-tectonics, particularly the emplacement dynamics of intrusive igneous sheets, and in the evolution of fold-thrust belts.
