About Me
Hi! I am a seismologist and geophysicist. In my research, I use spatio-temporal patterns of seismicity and simple modeling approaches to understand the complexity of seismogenic systems: how they organize and the physical processes underpinning it.
I am currently working as a postdoc in the Laboratoire de Géologie de l’École Normale Supérieure, mainly with Romain Jolivet. We are investigating the mechanisms that shape seismicity in places where we expect it the least: in continental interiors, far from plate boundaries. In other terms, why do we get earthquakes where there’s no tectonics?
