Curriculum

Research topics

Working in the Earthquake Team in Géoazur, the research I have conducted over the last years concerns three themes

(1) the nature and mechanisms of crustal deformations associated with active faults and other geological structures (e.g. volcanic edifice, karst) over short time-scale

(2) seismic imaging at the crustal scale, and more recently,

(3) the study of seismic and acoustic waves at the ocean floor for the study of seismicity, ocean-solid earth interactions, and anthropogenic noise.

Methods

My research work is based on a strong expertise in the field of seismological observation. Thus, my research themes implement different observation and analysis methods such as Passive Seismic Imaging (ambient noise cross- correlation),Temporal variations in seismic wave velocities and Distributed acoustic sensing of seismic wave field.
