My research is focused on understanding magnetic records that can be obtained from karst environments. One area of interest is how these records improve our understanding of the evolution of Earth's magnetic field at the millennial scale. The second is using the magnetic mineralogy of the speleothem to understand paleoclimate, karst development and hydrology. I use a multidisciplinary approach that combines rock magnetism, geochemical analyses and geochronological information (radioisotopic dating).

Right now, I'm doing a postdoctoral at University of Minnesota, which is the perfect place for my current research, where I combine the radiometric dating in stalagmites at prof. Larry Edwards laboratory and magnetic measurements at Institute for Rock Magnetism in the Earth & Environmental Sciences department, under the supervision of a specialist in speleothem magnetism, prof. Joshua Feinberg. Also, the opportunity to work with cutting edge scientists in a multicultural environment is a unique and exciting opportunity.

In this research funded by NSF, I combine data from stalagmites at different places to understand the geometry of the geomagnetic field at extreme events like Laschamp excursion and South Atlantic Anomaly, with unprecedent resolution. This could be achieved combining paleomagnetic methods and also by magnetic microscope techniques through collaboration with MIT and Smithsonian researchers.
