My work focuses on the impact of geometry and physical properties on the seismogenic zone in several subduction zones such as the Lesser Antilles, North Andean and Hellenic subduction zones.

I study physical properties on and around the megthrust fault derived from the analysis of P- and S-waves heterogeneity. To understand the relationship between seismicity, structure and fluids, we need to have a high resolution image of the downgoing and upper plate as well as a precise location of seismicity and unconventionals signals (LFEs, VLFEs, NVT, ...).

I use geophysical methods such as: 2D and 3D tomography, MCS, receiver-function.
