My research is focused on understanding coupling between mantle dynamics,tectonics and surface process. I am interested on subduction, mountain building, exhumation and topography-surface evolution. I am also interested in fluid circulation and faulting.

Field work has included the Mediterranean (Spain, Italy, Lybia, Greece, Turkey), Pakistan, Iran, Antarctica, Argentina, Colombia, Ethiopia and Morocco.

I am presently working in Colombia, northern Caribbean, Morocco and in the Apennines.

I am running Scale Experimental Model at Laboratory of Expoerimental Tectonics at Roma TRE (LET) to simulate geological processes, from subduction and mantle convection to erosion and crustal deformation.
